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

On my moon camp, i have a Rocket which is standing on a base, a moon base which is underground, where my astrobots can sleep, do research and grow some food to eat. For electricity, i have a few solar panels outside which is connected to a battery that sends the power through a wire into each room in my moon base. I have 3 rovers, 2 of them that drive around the moon doing research,  looking for new and interesting things.Rover has Solar cells  and drilling machines which drives to the lunar poles to extract water from the Lunar  Ice. A water recycling system is there which the drilling rovers extracts  water from the lunar Ice and transport  through pipes and provide water for the plants inside the moon base. And for protection, i have a shield bubble around my moon base to keep it safe from meteorites .Antennas are there for communication.Rovers are there for various purposes like drilling ice, carrying solar sells for charge.Robots are there to help the Astronauts.Waste management is done from green waste into the recycling bon and converted to methane gas and Oxygen is stored in Cylinders.

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

Close to the Lunar Poles

Why did you choose this location?

I chose this location as it has the best temperatures between -50 and 0 degrees as for the other places it might be either too hot or too cold. The Lunar poles  are different than the poles on Earth: On Earth it is the worst place to stay as it is too cold, and on the Moon, it is the Best.

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

I plan to build my moon camp underground.The materials I use are the lunar soil and plastic.I build my moon base with 3D printing the materials.

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

For water, the rover with the driller extracts lunar Ice .Water treatment will be done later and transported through tubes .

For food, i have a greenhouse where vegetables are grown.

To have power and electricity, i have a few solar panels which get powered by the sun and it gives out electricity for my lamps and my computers.

I have oxygen cyclinders on each floor .Oxygen is produced by three ways.

1.Oxygen from plants
2.Lunar Soil is heated
3.Water Distillation and filteration to Hydrogen and Oxygen.

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

Once the Astronauts wake up, they head towards the greenhouse to see if any food have grown and take a some vegetables as food for their breakfast. Then, they head towards the office room and send a few rovers to scout across the moon. They also send the drilling rover extract some more water. If they get some interesting data, they try and contact Earth and send them the data that they found.They  use the Oxygen for breathing from Oxygen Cylinders.They communicate to the earth by the transmission signals from the antennas.They have a gym for work out, sleeping facilites where they sleep and office room to do the work.They have a kitchen to make food.Green house to grow veggies.They do research on the moon to find the basic living conditions like water, air, power and food.
