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
The base is formed by a large dome in the center built with insulating walls that also shelter from meteorites, and by four tunnels ending with cubes: when you enter the cubes you can take off your suit and activate the force of gravity with a crank. Inside the base there is oxygen, obtained from regolith, a very abundant material on the Moon. In the large dome, on the other hand, there are food reserves divided by type; to take them from the Earth to the Moon there are rockets, which are also used for scientific research. In addition to food, the dome contains sleeping places for astronauts. In the underground part of the dome there are benches, in each of which there are control panels that are used to operate the underlying drills that perform the function of breaking the ice on the Moon to obtain water. Outside there is a greenhouse with fruit trees inside that are used to produce oxygen. In part there is a wood-burning oven for pizza. Outside the base there are solar panels that are used to produce energy, since there is a lot of radiation on the Moon, and also to activate the drills. Next to these panels is the Italian flag, a symbol that Italy has gone to the moon. Outside there are cannons that are used to shoot down meteorites arriving from the sky. |

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?
Close to the Lunar Poles Why did you choose this location?
Due the temperature conditions How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Which materials would you use?
Using a 3D print Explain how your Moon Camp will provide the astronauts with:

Finally we have the space shuttle with which the astronauts arrived. |
