We named our moon camp Veritas from the Harvard university brand. It means truth and reality. As in a large university but as in an equally large camp on another planet it needs truth. Specifically, with the discoveries and experiments that we will carry out, we will find many truths that until now were unknown to us about this planet, the Moon.  

Harvard University is devoted to excellence based on truth and reality. Respectively, the camp we designed will me based on the “truths” we will find out about the Moon.  

In our base we want to accommodate six astronauts for about five years. We have already made sure that our base contains the essentials so that the result is absolutely satisfactory for the well being and the well fare  of our astronauts on the moon for all these years. We have installed underground domes which are made of special glass to protect them from meteorites and ultraviolet radiation. In addition, we have created solar panels that store solar radiation and convert it into energy, which is extremely valuable for our camp’s functions. There is also a greenhouse where the astronauts will grow fruits and vegetables with great care. They will dedicate time  to gardening on a daily basis, since their organic produce will be their main source of food.  Finally, we also made some rovers. They are electric vehicles that serve various purposes. Each one has its own use. 

Close to the Lunar Poles

The location we have chosen to build our moon base is the lunar south pole of the moon and specifically  the Clavius crater. The main reason that enabled us to build it there is the low temperatures that the south pole provides, as they trap methane, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water. Additionally, it is a perfect place to set our moon base, since it isn’t exposed to much ultraviolet sunlight. In addition, from a  psychological point of view, it’s a good location for astronauts because they have the ability to see the Earth. In conclusion, it’s a practical location but it’s also psychologically favorable.

We decided to build our mooncamp with lunar soil using 3D printers. We will then process it to be harder, sturdy and durable so that it can withstand any hardship. 
Our base will be designed with special techniques to cover all basic needs. We have built: 

Laboratory 
Kitchen 
Toilets 
Gym 
Bedrooms 
control center
rovers 
solar panels 
living room
warehouse
rocket and lander 
waste and

 The small gravity would seriously affect the health of the astronauts. To avoid this, we installed a machine that increases the pressure to increase gravity. We will build the main rooms underground. They will be built first. 

A multi-purpose rover will collect the ice and put it in the truck rover which will transport the ice to the mooncamp. There the ice will be placed into an underground hole. The hole will be connected to the greenhouse. In this hole the ice will melt using fire. At the same time through some pipes that are connected to the greenhouse the exchange of carbon dioxide with oxygen will be taking place. Once melted, the ice will be transferred to a tank that will filter it and then the potable water will be transferred into the mooncamp’s facilities.

As far as food is concerned,we have made special 3D printers in which we have placed the ingredients and make as many copies as we want from a specific food. In addition, we have placed fish and chickens that are also necessary for our diet as they conatin a lot of vitamins. We have also put some cereal bars with spirulina in the warehouse in case of dearth. Finally, we have built a greenhouse in which there are many types of vegetables and fruits.

We will obtain energy for the mooncamp, mainly from the solar panels. Sunlight will fall on them as they will be placed in special places and from there energy will be generated which will be transferred through cables to various areas of the mooncamp ,where necessary. Energy will also be generated as astronauts ride a stationary bike in the gym and will be an additional source of energy.

The oxygen will be supplied mainly by the electrolysis machine. Inside this machine water will be palced which then breaks down into its two main components and thus produces oxygen and hydrogen. We will also get air from the greenhouse, where the plants will also emit oxygen, so the two main sources of air are the electrolysis machine and the greenhouse. In case of any damage, we will have an oxygen backup for the astronauts to survive.

Our Camp will be synchronized with the time of the Greenwich observatory. The program is as follows:

 All the astronauts wake up at 6:10AM. Then, they have one hour to make their beds, dress up and eat their breakfast (they will make it on their own). After that, they will conduct experiments in the laboratory until 10:10AM. Then, they will spend 50 minutes gardening and picking raw fruits and vegetables for their lunch. Afterwards, they will take a 50minute break, that includes eating little snacks such as cereal bars and a fresh orange juice. Next, some of them have to check the base. Then, they have 45minutes to prepare their own meal with the 3D printers. They must have finished their lunch by 1:15. Afterwards they will take a nap for one hour. Then, they will workout for one and half anhour. When they finish their working out sessions, they will take a quick bath. It is also very important to spend some time every day to communicate with their relatives and friends. So, in the afternoon for about one hour they will be connected with our planet through the control center, our base includes. Next, they will spend some time outside, on the surface of the Moon and they will be collecting useful rocks and stones. Then, at 7PM they will make their dinner and at 10PM they will have to do their night routine and go to bed. We must also mention that  Saturday is a free day.
