Our lunar base consists of five spheres connected by tunnels. There are solar panels on top of the four spheres, and a glass cover on the fifth sphere allowing the plants to access light. Next to the crutches, there is a machine in which used water and air are filtered. In the first sphere there is a room with suits. Astronauts change their outfits there after returning from the Moon research. In the second sphere there is a bathroom with access to hot water, which is used by cosmonauts to clean out possible unknown chemicals. The third sphere contains the kitchen and warehouse. Downstairs, the astronauts prepare and eat meals, and upstairs there is a storage room with food collections. The next ball is for people to recover after a long, tiring day. It contains capsules that act as a place to sleep and rest. There is also a shelf with scientific aids. The last, fifth sphere is a laboratory where astronauts examine the samples obtained from research on the moon. Upstairs there are small greenhouses containing plants that provide food and access to clean air.

Our lunar base is on the southeastern part of the Moon. We have chosen this place due to the fact that the poles offer better living conditions, as the temperature varies there from -50 degrees Celsius to 0 degrees Celsius. The sun is constantly shining there, creating an endless sunset. Another important aspect are the lava channels formed billions of years ago by the flow of lava from the lunar core, providing protection against difficult space weather.

Our lunar base will be built in lava channels using the latest 3D printing technologies and lunar dust. Owning to the fact, it will facilitate the transport of the necessary building materials and reduce the construction time, because the material produced is lighter than the bricks used to build buildings on Earth.

We take it through a specially connected pipe from the room where ice is crushed, taken from nearby lunar craters. It is also obtained from exhaled water vapor, which is then carefully filtered and ready for use by astronauts. Water is also transported to the base from Earth.

Durable, lightweight, space-saving, low-gravity-serving food chosen by astronauts is already packed and tested to prepare for flight. Then, dehydrated, it goes to the base. After adding water to it, the meals are ready to eat. The plants they grow also provide them with food.

We collect energy from solar panels on top of each sphere. This is a very good option because the sun’s rays are constantly reaching it. Thanks to the energy, cosmonauts have access to electricity and hot water.

Plants and algae provide constant access to air and are functional because they take up little space. Only 8m² is enough to provide one person with oxygen. These plants can also be healthy food. Moon dust can also be used to extract air. It needs to be heated, filtered oxygen and then stored properly. Ice taken from the moon during research also gives us clean air to breathe. We do the same with ice.

An astronaut’s day begins with getting out of a capsule-like bed. Then they go to the kitchen to eat. Regardless of how long humans stay in space, they return to Earth with a loss of bone mass, so they go through the tunnels to the first ball, where they exercise and dress in their spacesuit to go research and sampling. After the work is done, they return to the base and place the samples in the lab. They get rid of the uniform, then go to the bathroom to wash off the bacteria. Then it performs tests on the collected samples and records the progress of work. After completing their duties, they go to the kitchen, where they eat a meal containing many nutrients that are necessary when staying outside the Earth’s atmosphere. After a whole day, they go to the bedroom to go to sleep.
