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

The lunar camp is designed to be sustainable and to allow astronauts to collect samples with the cars for analysis in the laboratory. It has an area for the extraction of resources, an area for houses, some for leisure, and another for plant and animal farms.
It also has a materials warehouse.

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

Close to the Lunar Poles

Why did you choose this location?

The campament is near the South Pole because water samples have been found and because the temperature at the poles.
South Pole is one of the few places in space where acceptable light conditions occur. We have also chosen to be close to a pole to improve the connection with the earth in terms of travel and communications.
.

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

At first there were missions in which the different materials were transported. Part of the rocket was also disassembled and used to build the base space.
For the constructions has been used the geology of the land to create the deposits and pipes.
In the camp there are many modular structures, which are versatile to build the different structures.
We use aluminum and plastic to make the domes. We also created several air places in the domes, to maintain the insulation conditions.

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

Water is produced thanks to the existence of lunar hydrogen that some mines have made that and together with the CO2 they have as waste, they can produce water.
With C02 they also produce dry ice, which they can maintain thanks to freezing temperatures outside and use it wherever they want.

They are sustainable and grow their own plants and legumes.
They also have insect farms for their proteins.
With stem cells they reproduce tissues that also serve as food sporadically if they needed.

They extract geothermal electricity from lava and craters.
They also use solar radiation and photovoltaic light.
They have a meteor detection system. In ther world there is a system of missiles that has been prepared to collide in they can be attacked by a meteorite.
They have built some bunkers to protect themselves.

They have a closed system to maintain the oxygen conditions necessary for survival.
They have a small reactor that produce reactions with the neon atmosphere of the moon and they can have oxygen.
They capture oxygen from the thermal reactions of lava.
They transform CO2 into oxygen thanks to the plants they grow.

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

We think astronauts can be in the lunar station for two to six months. The day begins checking that the water has not been frozen in the pipes of the greenhouse, feeding animals and checking connections with the land. In the afternoon they collect samples from the robots and analyze them in the laboratory.
They have free time and days a week to play the guitar, paint and connect with the earth in a leisurely way with family and friends.
