3.1 – How does your Moon Camp protect and provide shelter to your astronauts against the Moon’s harsh environment.
Translation:
He would defend against meteors by placing sensors that would detect the meteor. When the sensor detected a meteor, the glass would be covered by a shield. The shield would also be constructed of moonstones.
He would defend himself against solar radiation by building a capsule with two layers. The inner layer would contain water, which absorbs the sun’s rays very well.
Original Text:
Pred meteorji bi se branil tako, da bi postavil senzorje, ki bi zaznali meteor. Ko bi senzor zaznal meteor bi steklo prekrila zaščita. Zaščita bi bila prav tako zgrajena iz luninih kamnov.
Pred sončnim sevanjem bi se branil tako, da bi zgradil kapsulo z dvema plastema. V notranji plasti bi bila voda, ki zelo dobro v sebe vsrkava sončne žarke.
3.2 – On the Moon, resources are very scarce, but during long Moon missions, astronauts cannot rely on resupply missions from the Earth. Explain how your Moon Camp will provide astronauts with sustainable access to basic needs like water, food, air and power.

WATER
Lunar water has been found locked as ice in the cold, permanently shadowed craters at the lunar poles, moving as a gas in the very thin lunar atmosphere.
Water could be obtained by filtering the Moon’s fingers on the lunar parts of the moon. We could get water from solar winds or from micrometeorites that might contain water.
The moon is dotted with billions of tiny craters, creating shadowy areas across its surface. These regions are technically cold enough to hold frozen ice and very accessible.
Water could also be obtained by renovating and recycling used water. We could get it to have devices that would renew the water from our urine, the gases we exhale when we wash the dishes…
ELECTRICITY
Due to the polar location of our station, where the Sun is present throughout, it is easiest to obtain electricity with its help. So with solar cells. Thus, we would have through the Sun and therefore also through electricity, but a big problem quickly arises. The sun really shines through to the moon, but what about when the Earth is between the moon and the sun? This happens a few times a year and lasts for a few days. At that time, of course, we also need electricity for various activities. But there is a simple solution and that is a device that stores the electricity it collects during the rest of the year when the Sun shines with all its power. However, this device can last up to 17 days without any malfunctions during that time. Electricity is especially important when there is no sun and something must illuminate the plants.
FOOD
We would grow our own food, we would have plants in the greenhouse and fish in the pond.
AIR
Oxygen would be obtained through the photosynthesis of the plants in the greenhouse.

VODA
Lunino vodo so našli zaklenjeno v obliki ledu v hladnih, trajno zasenčenih kraterjih na luninih polih in se v obliki plina premika v zelo tanki lunini atmosferi.
Vodo bi lahko pridobili s filtriranjem Lunine prsti na lunarnih delih lune. Lahko bi dobili vodo s sončnimi vetrovi ali iz mikrometeoritov, ki morda vsebujejo vodo.
Luna je posejana z milijardami drobnih kraterjev, kar ustvarja senčna območja po njeni površini. Te regije so tehnično dovolj hladne za zadrževanje zmrznjenega ledu in zelo dostopne.
Vodo bi lahko tudi pridobili z prenavljanjem in recikliranjem porabljene vode. Dobili jo bi lahko da bi imeli naprave, ki bi prenavljale vodo iz našega urina, plinov, ki jih izdahnemo, ko pomijemo posodo…
ELEKTRIKA
Zaradi polarne lege naše postaje, kjer je Sonce skoz prisotno je najlažje pridobivati elektriko z njegovo pomočjo. Torej s sončnimi celicami. Tako bi imeli skoz Sonce in torej tudi skoz elektriko, a pride kar hitro do velikega problema. Sonce sicer res skoz sije na luno, a kaj pa potem, ko je med luno in Soncem Zemlja? To se dogaja parkrat na leto in traja nekaj dni. Takrat pa seveda tudi potrebujemo elektriko za raznorazna početja. Obstaja pa preprosta rešitev in to je napravi, ki shranjuje elektriko, ki jo zbira v ostalem letu ko Sonce sije z vso močjo. Ta naprava pa lahko zdrži kar do 17 dni brez kakršnih koli pomanjkanj v tistem času. Elektrika pa je še posebej pomembna, ko ni Sonca in nekaj pač mora osvetljevat rastline.
HRANA
Hrano bi si pridelovali sami, v rastlinjaku bi imeli rastline in v ribniku ribe.
ZRAK
Kisik bi pridobivali s fotosintezo rastlin v rastlinjaku.
