Moon Camp is a science base that will be a stop on the way to Mars in the near future. There we will study the effects of low gravity on humans and the radiation and life on the moon. We will be assisted by a robot that will collect energy on its own thanks to the installed solar panels. Conditions are harsh on the moon. It has no atmosphere, which means there is no air there. The temperature there ranges from -233 ° C to 123 ° C. Therefore, our home on the moon must be self-sufficient. It will be located on the lunar surface. There will be space for communicating with Earth and processing information. The house will have a power generator, a water recovery system and its own recycling system. There will be a place for growing plants and algae. There will be a bedroom, a dining room and an exercise room.

Shackleton crater

We chose this location because the sun almost always shines there. Temperatures there are higher than elsewhere on the Moon. They range from -50 ° C to 0 ° C. There are also deep channels that have been hollowed out by the lava. They will protect us from the harsh space weather. At the South Pole, there is also access to water, which is in the form of water ice.

Our base must protect us. There is no air on the moon, so if we want to breathe in a lunar house, it must be airtight. This will also protect us from small meteorites that fall on the moon all year round. The house must also be made of airtight materials. The house will be made of lunar dust using 3D printing. The entrance door will be in the form of a sluice.

The water will be obtained from the ice and the water recovery system, for example dishwashing water and man-made water.

We plan to set up a greenhouse – hydroponic cultivation -this will provide vegetables.

At Moon Camp, energy will be generated from solar energy. The solar panels will be placed in different directions to take advantage of the different locations of the sun. When an eclipse occurs, energy will be drawn from the backup power supply.

Air will be supplied from plants and algae. The main energy generator of our base are photovoltaic panels. Sunlight is very intense on the moon, so the main choice was this way. Solar panels would be made of silicon, readily available on the Moon.

Astronaut at Moon Camp gets up every day at 7.00 a.m. He checks all devices, checks the hardware. Then he has time for breakfast and hygiene. Every day the work lasts from 8.00 to 17.00. Each day also begins with a teleconference with Earth. Then the astronaut makes scientific experiments. Takes a lot of photos and takes samples. The astronaut also has free time, when he reads and listens to music. He goes in for two hours of exercise every day to maintain bone and muscle mass.
