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.

We participate in the activities of the “STEM 3D makers” group.
Together with the professor, we decided to build our base on the moon.
We first chose the location, then we discussed what astronauts need for life and communication, and finally we added some additional content.
We are planning to use a 3D printer to print a part of our base
The first step in the exploration of Mars, the asteroid belt and other planets will be the establishment of a base on the Moon – permanent human habitation. Additionally, we want to explore the Moon, and the possibility of life on it.
Close to the lunar equator
We want to be as close to the planet as possible
One part, the initial modules, would be brought from Earth, and the rest would be printed using the lunar soil
Our base would have a movable protective dome, and the astronauts would live underground
We would filter water and air from the lunar soil, and we would produce our own food through the aquaphonic system.
We would use solar collectors as an energy source
In addition to the standard preparations that all astronauts go through – such as various exercises, we would especially devote ourselves to psychological preparation for such a remote and lonely life.
