3.1 – How does your Moon Camp protect and provide shelter to your astronauts against the Moon’s harsh environment.
One of the problems present on the moon is the lack of an atmosphere, which means that there is little protection from harmful cosmic radiation. This is why the camp has thick-walled structures. This will also help to control the pressure difference between the outside and inside areas. In addition, it will not suffer too much damage from a meteorite impact.
The fact that there is no gravity in space would also be a problem both for the comfort of the astronauts, as well as being capable of causing dizziness or fainting. They will have a dome that will prevent the absence of gravity,
provide the necessary gases we need to live, including oxygen, and improve the astronauts’ quality of life on the moon. It also causes the loss of muscle mass and function. To this end, our base has a gym area for astronauts to exercise.
The base is equipped for 5 astronauts, who can store food in the dining area, store the necessary utensils in the storeroom or study the space they are in with the help of a laboratory area. The vegetable garden is located in the centre, has different crops that will help to harvest more food.
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.
In our lunar base we think of the minimum displacement towards the land for provisions, water and so on.
In our base we think the water is important and it is limited in space. so we want to recycle the water. The recycle is reusing and regenerating the water. It is the process for which you recover the water usage, for new uses. We are going to use the bath water for plants. Before we travel to the moon we fill a tank with a million liters of water.
We have solar panels so as not to have problems with light, we reused the sun rays to have light, and we used our organic garden.
in our organic garden we don’t have enough plants for survive but we we can feed ourselves also have preserves of all kinds we need to survive in the moon
We think it’s very important to recycle all of these things but it is very difficult to carry out. Why is it very important? It is important because in space there isn’t water, electricity or something like that but we can transform or reuse these things for new things.
