History
The Alpha Flight Low-Orbit Space Station was the headquarters of the space program of the same name,[2] located 250 kilometers above the Earth's surface, and constantly aligned with the Triskelion in New York City. Captain Marvel was the station Commander, and Abigail Brand was her second-in-command. [1]
It was destroyed after being evacuated and laden with Rocket Raccoon's Nullifier Bombs, then intentionally knocked out of orbit in a failed attempt to breach the Planetary Defense Shield,[3] but later rebuilt.[4]

The entire station is composed of interlocking and interchangeable modules which can be detached to be replaced. Some include:
- Aerolith - A device which beams cargo and crew to and from the station to the Triskelion situated in the Upper New York Bay on Earth below.[1]
- Alpha Flight Module - This section housed a mustering deck and hangar for the Alpha Flight Squadron Jets.[1] It became overrun by the invasive Satori ship docked nearby and was jettisoned in an effort to send it into the Sun and rid the station of the alien infestation.[6] A new flight command module was later rebuilt;[7] however, it too was destroyed, this time along with the entire station.[3]
- Captain's Quarters - The personal suite of the station's commander, Carol Danvers, for living and sleeping.[1] It's yet unclear if the Captain's Quarters are located in the Pod Module or elsewhere.
- Cargo Hold - A space for storing goods and equipment aboard the station.[1] There are at least seven separate sections to this module.[8]
