Tom Corbett, Space Cadet

Origin
Tom Corbett, along with his friends: Astro and Roger Manning, were cadets at the Space Academy as they train to become members of the elite Solar Guard. The action takes place at the Academy in classrooms and bunkrooms, aboard their training ship, the rocket cruiser Polaris, and on alien worlds, both within our solar system and in orbit around nearby stars.
