Our Moon Camp is simple and it is made for 2-4 people. There is a big sleeping and working area. There is also a greenhouse that produces food and oxygen for the astronauts. A tunnel links the greenhouse and the sleeping so the astronauts will not be exposed to the extreme moon’s temperatures. There is another building with a statue inside. It may be used to extract underground water ice. We put solar cells on the top of each building to provide solar energy. We built a little moon rover that is also powered by solar energy. The moon rover is a space exploration vehicle designed to move across the surface and collect samples from the Moon.

Shackleton crater

We chose the Shackleton crater because it lies at the lunar south pole. We would like to built out moon base at the peaks of the crater because it is almost always exposed to sunlight. It is also believed that the interior of the crater contains frozen water.

We will build our moon base out of lunar rocks and soil using a 3D printer.

Astronauts will use the drill to dig holes and get the frozen water.

We designed a greenhouse that produces food and oxygen.

We put solar cells on the top of each building to provide solar energy. The peaks of the crater are constantly exposed to sunlight so there won’t be any problem with getting enough of solar energy.

Oxygen will be provided by a greenhouse.

A tunnel links the greenhouse and the sleeping so the astronauts will not be exposed to the extreme moon’s temperatures.

The astronauts will sleep in his/her sleeping area. He/she will spend most of the day inside so he/she won’t be exposed to the harsh environment. However, the astronaut will have to investigate neighbourhoods and find out what is hidden in the interior of the crater.
