Moon Camp Explorers Gallery 2020-2021

In Moon Camp Explorers each team’s mission is to 3D design a complete Moon Camp using Tinkercad. They also have to explain how they will use local resources, protect astronauts from the dangerous of space and describe the living and working facilities.

Project description

We named our Moon Camp “Ali Kuşçu” a famous Turkish astronomer who made the “Moon Map”

In our camp we provide safe and easy life for our astronauts. Our base houses 8 astronauts and they can accommodate on our base for 8 months. We would like to research and collect Helium 3 for the Fusion Reactors on earth and try to grow plants on regolith.

We Would build our experimental C.M.D.S (Counter Meteorite Defense Systems) to defend ourselves from meteorites that has a bigger diameter than 1 meter and higher. C.M.D.S is a layered protection system that has a Warning Radar,satellite orbital warning system and laser countermeasure system. This system combined with the Regorin buildings will protect our astronauts from radiation and meteorites.

 

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

Close to the Lunar Poles

Why did you choose this location?

We think that south pole of the moon is the most suitable place for building our moon camp. We can build our solar panels above the crater that we choose. Because we think that the solar panels are the simplest and the safest option for our pioneers. Also there is water that can be used after being filtered and melted.

How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Which materials would you use?

Our main material for building is a material that we create, its name is Regorin. We create this material by mixing regolith with urine. This material is the ideal material for building our moon base, it protects our astronauts from micro meteors and space radiation. The important parts of our moon base will be underground and safe from the dangers of space.

Explain how your Moon Camp will provide the astronauts with:
Water
Food
Electricity
Air

We would collect water from the underground ice reserves and the water will be filtered, melted and turned into regular usable water. The microorganisms and dangerous matter will be used for research or send to our methane facility.

We would produce our food at our farm where we would grow potatoes,tomatoes and corn. We would make another section on our farm that focuses on growing experimental plants on regolith. We use human waste as our fertilizer and to maintain the psychology of our astronauts we bring local food from our astronauts homelands.

We provide our energy from our solar panels. Because the other sources of energy are to complicated and hard to maintain with low resources and manpower. We use methane that we gain from our dead plants and common waste. And hydrogen that we gained from electrolysis to fuel our rocket.

We have an algorithm that balances the gases around our base. We control the levels of each gas that is floating around our base. We get oxygen and hydrogen from electrolysis and nitrogen from our plants. We also use the water steam that is being generated by our astronauts.

Describe a day on the Moon for one of your Moon Camp astronauts

Our camp’s Time Follows The World (London) time (UTC) Our Crew gets up at 8.00 am. Our astronauts prepares for the day for 1 hour this includes hygiene and breakfast. Our astronauts than starts the morning check up at 9 am. And than our astronauts exercise at the modular gym. After that our astronauts starts their work schedule till 1 pm. Our astronauts have their lunch and then they continue their work schedule till 9 pm. Our astronauts have their dinner and then at 10 pm they call their families on Earth. At 11 pm Our astronauts go to sleep. Our rocket engineer works at our rocket fuel module and maintain the rocket. Our robotics engineer maintain our mining rovers and our “INMODULE” robots. Our biologist researchs and test our plants. Our botanic maintains and harvests our plants. Our chemist researchs and test new materials that we found on the moon. Our radar technician and laser operator works at the radar building. And they make sure that no Meteroit harms our camp. Our mechanic maintains our vehicles and upgrades them if its needed.
