Swinetrek - Spacecraft featured on the "Pigs in Space" segment of the syndicated puppet series THE MUPPETS/SYN/1976-81. The Swinetrek was a jug-shaped spacecraft resembling a pig that drifted aimlessly through space.

Its Muppet crew members were Captain Link Hogthrob, Dr. Julius Strangepork and First Mate Miss Piggy. An emblem/patch on each of their uniforms had a face of a pig in a circle of blue which rested on a lightning bolt.

The end of each serial episode concluded with the announcer echoing "Tune in next week for an other adventure of Pigs in Space!"

The Swinetrek II surfaced on the sequel series MUPPETS TONIGHT/ABC/1996 that featured new skits with Miss Piggy and the new crew of "Pigs in Space: Deep Dish Nine! The Next Generation of Pigs...in Space!"
