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:

What I want to achieve with this space station is a new design for the new stations that is productive and innovative and in which you can live well and investigate things in space that have what is necessary. What I have put in the station espacial is a toy library for them to rest , have fun and calm down . I have also incorporated a laboratory, an infirmary, and some bathrooms. So that they can have a comfortable stay I have installed 2 tanks, one for oxygen and the other for water. The base has a field of solar panels that go to an energy store linked to an algae farm and an orchard. It has a train so that the base is perfectly communicated. It has silos to store food and four water treatment plants. Among other facilities, it has parking for space vehicles, shuttles with a rocket, a landing strip and a bunker against meteorites. To be in full contact with planet Earth, two radio antennas have been installed.

Lo que quiero conseguir con esta estación espacial es un nuevo diseño para las nuevas estaciones que sea productivo e innovador y en la que se pueda vivir bien e investigar sobre las cosas del espacio que tenga lo necesario .Lo que le he puesto a la la estación espacial es una ludoteca para que descansen , se diviertan y se tranquilicen . tambien le he incorporado un laboratorio , una enfermeria , y unos baños. Para que puedan tener una estancia cómoda he instalado 2 tanques , uno de oxígeno y otro de agua . La base dispone de un campo de placas solares que van a parar a un almacenador de energía unido a un criadero de algas y un huerto. Dispone de un tren para que la base quede perfectamente comunicada. Tiene silos para almacenar la comida y cuatro depuradoras de agua. Entre otras instalaciones dispone de unos parking para vehículos espaciales , unas lanzaderas con un cohete , una pista de aterrizaje y un bunker contra meteoritos. Para estar en pleno contacto con el planeta Tierra se han instalado dos antenas de radio.

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

Translation:

What my astronaut wants is to feel calm, investigate everything around him, the secrets of the universe and bring stories about the moon and its curiosities.

Original Text:

Mi astronauta lo quiere es sentirse tranquilo, investigar todo lo que tiene alrededor, los secretos del universo y traer historias sobre la luna y sus curiosidades.

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

Lunar lava tubes

2.2.b – Why did you choose this location?

Translation:

Because my astronaut wants to check if there is any phenomenon there and investigate it.

Original text:

Porque mi astronauta quiere comprobar si existe algún fenómeno allí e investigarlo .

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:

I plan to build my lunar camp big enough to have everything I need to live. I will use the resources of the moon hydrogen, oxygen, silicon, iron, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, manganese and titanium.

Original Text:

Pienso construir mi campamento lunar bastante grande para tener todo lo necesario para poder vivir. Utilizaré los recursos de la luna hidrógeno , oxígeno, silicio , hierro , magnesio, calcio , aluminio, manganeso y titanio .

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

Translation:

I will protect the astronauts by putting up an oxygen dome and in an emergency, I will put up a meteor bunker.

Original text:

Protegeré a los astronautas poniendo una cúpula de oxígeno y en caso de emergencia, pondré un bunker contra 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:

The first rocket will have the basic resources to endure a long season and the basic construction materials to start building the orchards, the farm, the solar panels and the silos. In this way, basic needs could be covered.

Original Text:

El primer cohete dispondrá de los recursos básicos para aguantar una larga temporada y los materiales de construcciones básicos para poder empezar la construcción de los huertos, de la granja, las placas solares y los silos. De esa manera se podrían cubrir las necesidades básicas.

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

Translation:

What it will include is a transfer to a NASA base so that they can be trained based on a series of tests such as space exams, rocket handling, physical tests and all the knowledge necessary to live in such adverse conditions.

Original Text:

Lo que incluirá es un traslado a una base de la NASA para que así puedan formarse a base de una serie de pruebas como exámenes sobre el espacio, manejo de un cohete, pruebas físicas y todos los conocimientos necesarios para vivir en unas condiciones tan adversas.
