Moon Camp Explorers 2022 – 2023 Project Gallery

 

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 dangers of space and describe the living and working facilities in their Moon Camp.

1.1 – Project Description

Translation:

Our project is a moon base with several domes. The big dome is where the dormitory for the astronauts is, and the vegetable garden is also in the big dome. To the right are the astronauts’ suits. Directly in front of it is a rocket for resources. In front of the rocket are the solar panels with dust protection. On the left is the food store. On the left is the oxygen.

 

Original Text:

Nuestro proyecto es una base lunar con varias cúpulas.La cúpula grande es donde está el dormitorio para los astronautas y el huerto también está en la cúpula grande.Hacia la derecha están los trajes de los astronautas.Justo enfrente hay un cohete para los recursos.Enfrente del cohete están las placas solares con protección para el polvo.En la izquierda esta el almacén de los alimentos.En la izquierda esta el oxigeno.

1.2 – Why do your astronaut want to go to the Moon and build a Moon Camp?

Translation:

Our astronaut wants to go to the moon so that there is a safe haven in case an emergency happens on earth and he has to leave. He has chosen the moon because it is a planet quite similar to ours.

 

Original Text:

Nuestro astronauta quiere ir a la luna para que haya un refugio seguro por si acaso pasa una emergencia en la tierra y haya que irse.A elegido la luna porque es un planeta bastante parecido al nuestro.

2.1.a – Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

Close to the lunar poles

2.2.b – Why did you choose this location?

Translation:

The lunar camp should be built a few kilometers below the pole so that astronauts can have access to solid water, more abundant the closer to the pole.

 

Original Text:

El campamento lunar debería construirse unos kilómetros más abajo del polo para que los astronautas puedan tener acceso a agua sólida, más abundante cuanto más cerca del polo.

2.2 How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Describe how you can use the Moon’s natural resources, and which materials you would need to bring from Earth.

Translation:

You will need a water recycling system, a power generation system, and food storage and preparation facilities. The materials to build the lunar habitat must be light, since they will have to be carried overcoming the Earth’s gravitational field by means of rockets.

 

Original Text:

Necesitará un sistema de reciclado de agua, un sistema de generación de energía, e instalaciones para almacenar y preparar alimentos. Los materiales para construir el hábitat lunar deberán ser livianos, ya que tendrán que ser llevados superando el campo gravitacional de la Tierra por medio de cohetes.

3.1 – How does your Moon Camp protect and provide shelter to your astronauts against the Moon’s harsh environment.

Translation:

The dome is what protects the astronauts from meteors because there is no atmosphere on the moon. The camp is prepared for all kinds of disasters.

 

Original Text:

La cúpula es lo que protege a los astronautas de los meteoritos porque no hay atmósfera en la luna.El campamento está preparado para todo tipo de desastres.

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.

Translation:

On the Moon you cannot put water due to gravity, the energy we have several plates for energy, the astronauts can breathe air thanks to our oxygen cylinders.

 

Original text:

En la Luna no se puede poner agua por la gravedad la energía tenemos varias placas para la energía los astronautas pueden respirar aire gracias a nuestras bombonas de oxigeno.

4.1 – What would you include in your astronaut training programme, to help prepare the astronauts for a Moon mission?

Translation:

Before going to space, he also has to train in skydiving, in survival at sea, in the jungle and in the desert. To prepare for his departure into space, he trains in the water wearing his spacesuit and working on life-size modules.

 

Original text:

Antes de ir al espacio, tiene también que entrenarse en paracaidismo, en sobrevivencia en el mar, en la selva y en el desierto. Para preparar su salida al espacio, se entrena en el agua llevando su traje espacial y trabajando sobre módulos de tamaño real.
