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

This moon base is a facility which is going to be on the moon, to allow human activities on the moon. This moon base will be built on the moon, it will allow astronauts to live on the moon to research  and survive while they are there on the moon. It has solar panels to provide power for the base, signal dishes to help communicate to people on earth. Plants to produce oxygen for the astronauts and oxygen tasks when the astronauts want to explore the moon, an emergency first aid kit for any health issues that might occur during this period while on the moon. They will have rovers for easy movement on the moon when researching and exploring, they have beds to sleep on while on the moon. The moon base has a base for the rocket to land on.

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

Close to the Lunar Poles

Why did you choose this location?

We would build the base at the lunar south pole because its said to be the best place to build the base and there is large amounts of water so there is ice that we can use to get water from this. they will be no loss of communication with the earth because of the occlusion of the moon and astronauts can enjoy the view of the earth.

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

we will use lunar soil to build our base, we will use 3d printing to make technology we need for our stay and some parts of the moon camp.

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

water , we can get water from the water ice close to the lunar poles we can collect it underground and we will have a water cycle to preserve the water.

we will get food and seeds from the earth to the moon and we can plant the seeds to grow crops for more food.

we will have solar panels printed from our 3-D printer to get light source from the sun and use it as power for our base.

we will use air from the crops we have to provide oxygen in the moon base .

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

We wake up from our sleep, we eat food then we go explore the moon on our rovers and since we are close to the poles a place without electromagnetic interference. This would be a good idea if we could produce crops on the moon soil , after our research we will go back to the base eat food and go to bed.
