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.

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

Translation:

We will stay at the lunar poles, as they contain solid water and are not hit by many meteorites. We will have a house in which the bedrooms and the laboratory are in the basement, while the bathroom and the dining room are on the ground floor. Outside we will have the rocket, the greenhouse and the laser tower to communicate with Earth. we will build the house with moonstones and protect ourselves with polyethylene.

 

Original text:

Nós ficaremos nos polos lunares, pois contêm águas no estado sólido e não é atingido por muitos meteoritos. Nós teremos uma casa em que os quartos e o laboratório ficam no subsolo, enquanto a casa de banho, e a sala de jantar de baixo do solo. No exterior vamos ter o foguetão, a estufa e a torre de lasers para comunicar com a Terra. nós construiremos com pedras lunares a casa e vamo-nos proteger com polyethylene.

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:

We plan to build our colony on the moon’s surface, but the lab and rooms will be underground.

 

Original Text:

Planeamos construir a nossa colónia à superfície da lua, mas o laboratório e os quartos vão estar no subsolo.

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:

A part of the water will be taken from Earth, but we will also have a machine that will melt the lunar ice so that it can be consumed.

 

Original Text:

Uma parte da água será levada da Terra, mas também vamos ter uma máquina que vai derreter o gelo lunar para poder ser consumível.

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

Translation:

Protection: We will use polyethylene around the moon to protect us from solar radiation and meteorites.

 

Original Text:

Proteção: Nós usaremos polyethylene a volta da lua para nos proteger da radiação solar e de 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:

Food: At first we will take food from Earth but then we will produce our greenhouse with seeds that develop quickly.

Energy: We will have energy from solar panels that absorb energy from the sun.

Air: We wear space suits, we bring bottles of oxygen and we will plant plants to provide us with oxygen (such as algae)

 

Original Text:

Comida: No início vamos levar comida da Terra mas depois vamos produzir a nossa estufa com sementes que se desenvolvam depressa.

Energia: Vamos ter energia a partir de painéis solares que absorvem a energia do sol.

Ar: Usamos fatos espaciais, trazemos garrafas com oxigénio e plantaremos plantas para nos fornecerem oxigénio (como as algas)
