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 field consists of a cluster of 5 domes (each with its own function) around a central dome. This is connected to the elevator that will allow access to the laboratory, bedrooms, bathroom and underground leisure area.

We have accommodation for 6 permanent astronauts and 2 guest scientists and a pet.

We also added an area for the rocket to land.

 

Original Text:

O nosso campo lunar consiste em um aglomerado de 5 cúpulas (cada uma com a sua função) à volta de uma cúpula central. Esta é ligada ao elevador que vai permitir o aceso ao laboratório, dormitórios, casa de banho e área de lazer subterrâneas.

Temos alojamento para 6 astronautas permanentes e 2 cientistas convidados e um animal de estimação.

Também adicionamos uma área para o foguetão aterrar.

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

Translation:

To carry out research on gravity and other aspects of the moon that are not possible from planet Earth.

 

Original Text:

Para realizar pesquisas sobre a gravidade e outros aspetos da lua que não sejam possíveis realizar a partir do planeta Terra.

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

No polo norte da lua.

2.2.b – Why did you choose this location?

Translation:

Because our base is equipped with solar panels that produce energy for the entire field.

And the poles have year-round sunshine, which facilitates the storage of renewable energy.

 

Original Text:

Porque a nossa base é equipada com painéis solares que produzem a energia para todo o campo.

E os polos tem sol todo o ano, o que facilita o armazenamento de energia renovável.

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:

Our underground base is located in the lower part of the moon, taking advantage of the existing crater.

 

Original Text:

A nossa base subterrânea está localizada numa parte inferior da lua aproveitando a cratera existente.

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

Translation:

The walls are made of titanium and resistant materials.

We have water reservoirs and to recycle the oxygen we will install liquid trees in specific places that are easier to apply on concrete floors.

 

Original Text:

As paredes são feitas de titânio e materiais resistentes.

Temos reservatórios de água e para reciclar o oxigénio vamos instalar em locais específicos liquid trees que são mais fáceis de aplicar em solos de betão.

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:

Our base has ice reserves and a water purifier for hydrating our astronauts.

It also has 2 domes with plantations of resistant vegetables such as potatoes and carrots.

On the outside of the base we have 6 powerful solar panels connected to a storage unit for when there are problems with the supply.

 

Original Text:

A nossa base conta com as reservas de gelo e um purificador de água para a hidratação dos nossos astronautas.

Também conta com 2 cúpulas com plantações de legumes resistentes como batata e cenoura.

Na parte exterior da base contamos com 6 painéis solares potentes ligados a um armazenador para quando houver problemas com o fornecimento.

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

Translation:

We would teach them how to use their food and all the equipment and planting to be able to supply their food.

 

Original Text:

Ensinaríamos a usar a sua alimentação e todos os equipamentos e plantação para poder suprir a sua alimentação.
