Participate in Moon Camp and design a space habitat!

Take on a new space adventurer role with your team and design a habitat on the lunar surface or go beyond the Moon and explore other worlds in our Solar System. Select the topic and format that best fits your team and get creative! Your project can range from:

  • a scientific experiment
  • a hands-on project
  • a design of space infrastructures
  • a 3D design of an astronaut base
  • a 3D printed model
  • a virtual or augmented reality world

 

… and much more!!

Moon Camp is a partnership between ESA (with its ESERO network) and the Airbus Foundation. All teams that submit a project will receive a participation certificate and will be invited to the final online livestream event with a special guest from the space industry.

How to start

Exploring space is about travelling farther and coming back with new experiences and knowledge to help us on Earth. Humankind will benefit from the new discoveries, ambitions, science, inspiration, and challenges.

When designing a space habitat teams need to adapt their design to the environment, consider the use of local resources and provide protection and living and working facilities for the astronauts.
