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.
Team: Reading on the Moon

Project description
The idea is that the camp is super equipped, it will have a farm, green house, “room for methane”, “house”, control room, corridors, center, entrance and exit, it will be located in the southern part of the elevated areas of the Moon in the Tycho crater. It will have as a barrier 11 layers of armored glass and in case that it does not protect from the impact, there will be a missile launch system that will destroy the meteors. The cattle will be 4 cows, 11 pigs, and 12 roosters / hens. The crops will be hydroponic, for example tomato plants, potatoes, carrots, cabbages … The plants will make their own oxygen and in that room there will be special lights to replace the sunlight, but that room will have the same amount of oxygen as the others. Oxygen and water tanks will also be taken. The extreme temperatures will be supported because in the camp there will be an air conditioning system and it will also have a device capable of recreating the earth’s gravity (so as not to fly away). |

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?
Tycho crater Why did you choose this location?
The location in the crater is chosen because due to the depth of the crater with respect to the ground in depth, because it wouThe location in the crater is chosen because due to the depth of the crater with respect to the ground in depth, because it would protect us. The methane room is due to the pigs releasing a large amount of methane gas which is being stored in a salt specialized in gases. This gas is very useful to ignite the fire because it is highly flammable. To feed the cattle a lot of hay will be made and for the comfort of the animals a farm will be built with wood where they will spend the time we are on the moon. How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Which materials would you use?
The camp will be built with a metal alloy, the rooms will be square. To enter or exit you must enter a code (the code is 123456789987654321). The control room is where the barrier and missile launcher will be controlled from and will be protected in terms of how much electricity is required because if the camp were to short-circuit it would be left with most (if not all) of the functions disabled, so we would freeze or melt. Explain how your Moon Camp will provide the astronauts with:

Water

Food

Electricity

Air

Before sending the astronauts, rockets with materials will be sent to build the camp and there will be water tanks of 5 kl of water. |
They will take some food but what they will eat the most are shoots and hydroponic crops and some animals will be killed to eat them, they will also eat the eggs of the chickens and milk of the cows. |
They will take a kind of batteries and hydraulic energy will be used. Also in case of an emergency there would be a kind of hamster wheel in which you would run to get electricity. |
As with the water before, oxygen tanks with 10 kl of oxygen will be taken and the crops will also produce some oxygen, and to leave the camp oxygen cylinders will be taken. |
Describe a day on the Moon for one of your Moon Camp astronauts
The house would consist of a kitchen, bathroom and 1 bedroom with a triple bunk where you would sleep. |
