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 lunar camp is called Shackleton, because that is the crater in which it is located.
In the camp there is a large capsule with two floors. On the ground floor there is the dining room and the kitchen and on the upper floor a small games room and the computer room where the surroundings are controlled: the solar panels.
-There are three rooms with two beds each, in each room there is a bathroom.
There is also a gym and a cinema room. All rooms are linked to the largest capsule via tubes.
-On the outside there is a capsule that is where the infirmary is. Outside there are also several rows of solar panels, a garden with plants and there is a system to control the planets of the solar system during their stay on the moon. Next to the garden there is frozen water.

 

Original Text:

Nuestro campamento lunar se llama Shackleton, porque es el cráter en el cual se encuentra.
En el campamento hay una cápsula grande de dos plantas. En la planta de abajo está el comedor y la cocina y en la planta de arriba una pequeña sala de juegos y la sala de ordenadores donde se controla alrededor:las placas solares.
-Hay tres habitaciones con dos camas cada una, en cada habitación hay un baño.
También hay un gimnasio y una sala de cine.Todas las habitaciones están unidas a la cápsula más grande a través de tubos.
-En el exterior hay una cápsula que es donde esta la enfermería.En el exterior también hay varias filas de placas solares, un huerto con plantas y hay un sistema para controlar los planetas del sistema solar durante la estancia en la luna.Al lado del huerto hay agua congelad.

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 because it is his dream and he can only do it once and because he has to do an investigation to find out if there could ever have been life.

 

Original text:

Nuestro astronauta quiere ir a la luna porque es su sueño y solo lo puede hacer una vez y porque tiene que hacer una investigación para saber si alguna vez ha podido haber vida.

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

Shackleton crater

2.2.b – Why did you choose this location?

Translation:

We want to build our lunar camp in Shackleton crater because the edge of the crater is exposed to sunlight almost continuously, therefore the solar panels will always be charged.

 

Original text:

Queremos construir nuestro campamento lunar en el cràter Shackleton porque en el borde del cràter estan expuestos a la luz solar de forma casi continua,por lo tanto las placas solares siempre estaran cargadas.

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:

What we can use are the elements known to be present on the lunar surface include but are not limited to hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium ( Ca), aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn) and titanium (Ti).

 

Original Text:

​Lo que podemos utilizar son los elementos que se sabe que están presentes en la superficie lunar incluyen, entre otros, hidrógeno (H), oxígeno (O), silicio (Si), hierro (Fe), magnesio (Mg), calcio ( Ca), aluminio (Al), manganeso (Mn) y titanio (Ti).

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

Translation:

All the rooms in our camp are protected by capsules that protect the astronauts from solar radiation and meteorites.

 

Original Text:

Todas las habitaciones de nuestro campamento están protegidas por capsulas que protegen a los astronautas de la radiación solar y de los meteoritos

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:

They will obtain energy thanks to the solar panels. They will obtain food thanks to the orchard. They will obtain water thanks to the ice. On the Moon there is no air to breathe. However, there is a very thin layer of gases on the surface that can almost be called the atmosphere.

 

Original Text:

Obtendran la energía gracias a las placas solares.Obtendran comida gracias al huerto.El agua lo obtendran gracias al hielo.En la Luna no hay aire para respirar. Sin embargo, existe una capa muy delgada de gases en la superficie que casi se puede llamar atmósfera.

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

Translation:

It is prepared with a chair that simulates the conditions of space and doing exercises.

 

Original Text:

Se prepara con una silla que simula las condiciones del espacio y haciendo ejercicios.
