Moon Camp Explorers Gallery 2021-2022
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
Our moon camp is a touristic, mireny and investigation base,which is going to be located in the south pole of the moon. In that area we could find a lot of natural resources that are going to makeour base work. It is going to have eight domes four in theunderground and the other ones on the ground. |

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?
Close to the lunar poles Why did you choose this location?
The location of the lunar camp will be in the Aitken basin, that is,close to the south pole of the moon. We have chosen this location because it is close to the south poleof the moon. In this area there are more hours of light, that we canuse to power the solar panels. These ones will supply energy to thelunar base. Also because in the soil and the lower layer of theAitken basin there is an abundance of minerals that contains Iron,Titanium, Thorium etc… How do you plan to build your Mooncamp? Which materials will you use?
The modules and the corridors are going to be created on theEarth. Then we will send them to the Moon, where are going to beassembled. |

We would get water from the ice in the shadow of the crater andfrom underground ice deposits, all this water would be filtered toeliminate poisonous substances that may be in the water to ensurethat it is safe to drink and be used for scientific purposes. Wewould reduce water waste by recycling the water, filtering all theimpurities and contaminants that could cause damage to theastronaut’s health. |
The food we can be divided into three phase. In the first phasethey will be fed with the food brought from the rocket. |
Our moon camp would have sixtyfour solar panels in order toprovide our base with all the power needed to make everythingwork properly. Each solar panel would generate a media of 500W,as a result we would have 32..000W this amount of power is goingto be able to feed our base. Moreover each solar panel would havea battery to collect the energy generated, in the end the batterieswould be connected to our moon camp. The windows will |
We would obtain breathable air using water electrolysis whichproduces hydrogen and oxigen and we would also use plants thatapart from producing oxigen and reducing CO2 clean the air anddon’t require to many resources to keep. We would also bringoxigen from Earth in case of need. To recude consume we wouldmix oxigen with a few gases as pure oxigen is damaging to thelungs. |
To provide our astronauts with a safe place our camp dome’swould be covered by hydrogenated boron nitride nanotubesknown as BNNT this new technology would absorb the particles ofradiation that are impacting on the lunar surface. In fact, as it is aflexible material, we would make the astronauts suits with it,making them comfortable, and mostly safe. On the whole, ourastronauts would be protected from cosmic radiation and sunradiation by BNNT |
