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
We named our team name I.M.S because I.S.S stands for International Space Station so our name is International Moon Station. We will build or moon camp in three phases: Using electromagnetic ramps from the earth we will fling equipment and materials over to the moon. Besides the basic systems that will support the daily life of astronauts in moon camp, we will build a few other systems for research and expansion of moon camp: Rockets for travelling to other planets in our solar system. |

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?
Shackleton crater Why did you choose this location?
We chose to build our base near the Shackleton Crater because it is near the north pole where there is abundant ice water and sunlight. How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Which materials would you use?
We will use carbon fiber (layer 1: graphene, layer 2: carbon fibers, layer 3: aerogel, layer 4 and 5: same as layer 1 and 2 )so that we have Meteorites. Bigger meteoroids will be destroyed by MAMS (Moon Anti Meteorite system), destroyer rovers and the M.S.S’s rocket launchers after the asteroid can be collected for resources. Explain how your Moon Camp will provide the astronauts with:
|
|||
Water
|
Food
|
Electricity
|
Air
|
Water: We will extract ice from the underground, melt it, purify it, and store it into water tanks. Water will be used for daily life, making oxygen, growing plants, and raising fish and animals. Wastes water will be treated and recycled. |
Food: We use a technique called aquaponics to grow plants and raise fish. Aquaponics: in a pool, there will be some fish. Those fish will release excrements that fertilize the plants, in return the plants clean the excrement water that goes back to the pool. |
Power: We will generate electricity in three ways: |
Air: we have two ways of getting oxygen. |
Describe a day on the Moon for one of your Moon Camp astronauts
The crew will wake up at 5:30 am CEST and they have 1 hour of eating and morning hygiene. Then they will have exercise until 7:30 am. Then they will prepare their experiments until 11:30 am. They will eat lunch from 11:30 am and 12:00 am. After 12:00 am to 1:00 pm they will have exercise then they will conduct the experiments that they prepared for until 4:30 pm. Till 5:00 pm they will check base functions. Till 6:30 pm they will make astronomical observations. Then they will have dinner until 7:30 pm. They will do the cleaning till 8:00 pm. Then they will have free time until 9:00 pm. After that, they will brush their teeth until 9:10 pm. Then they will clean until 9:30 pm. After that, they will sleep at 9:30 pm. The same routine follows for the M.S.S |
