Our team has built a station with 5 rooms including the research room, system management, Moon farming, extra rooms (Kitchen, dorms and toilets)  and a resources warehouse. The systems are sustainable, economical and with an advanced energy review system.

Living on the Moon: we have chosen a position in such a way that the station can be close both to the ice craters and to a point where the Sun can easily reach for energy.

Building: we will use thick, insulating walls, due to the temperature and physical characteristics of the moon. The foundations must also be resistant due to gravity, geopolymer materials and walls in various polymers will be used which will be built by 3D printers so as to be able to carry a large amount of terrestrial materials without taking up too much space.

Water: the base is supplied with water in the dark lunar craters by means of rovers, so as to be able to obtain other types of air for other lunar activities.

Food: use hydroponic farming that will allow you to grow potato and bamboo plants; the greenhouse will also be equipped with an aquarium and within it it will be possible to breed tilapia fish and study their growth and lunar breeding in the future.

Power: the power could be obtained with solar panels that will serve to power the station and then power the hydrogen generator (fuel cells) which will guarantee electricity to the base and will only need hydrogen which is always obtained from the electrolysis process.

Air: to ensure breathable air, electrolysis can be used which takes place in a hydrogen and oxygen generator, powered by solar panels, and there will be filters to prevent astronauts from suffocating in the CO2 they produce.

Protection: for protection, an antenna will be created in such a way as to create a magnetic field to protect the station.

A day on the Moon: As soon as he wakes up, the astronaut would have breakfast and an hour in the gym, then take a shower, and depending on his job, the astronaut would take care of one of the following tasks:

1 take care of the greenhouse

2 take care of the management of the Rovers

3 analyze samples of lunar rock or do various experiments. There are 2 breaks throughout the day to talk to the family and for lunch, dinner and breakfast.
