Our Lunar base: solar panels (dark) with electrical lysing cables;around the base and on the power generator;laboratory (2 annexes-one to study the lunar rocks and  finding new ways to grow plants,the second separates the elements necessary for the creation of water,hydrogen and oxygen);the power generator-connected to all solar panels;command tower,with powerful parabolic antennas (the main radio telecommunication center);a greenhouse, for growing plants-with its own solar panels. Astronauts’ habitats have parabolic antennas and are interconnected with each other and with other elements of the base.We also have: land/launch space for spaceships;hydrogen tanks (with adaptor for recharging) for storing it;lunar conveyor belt with the control of gravity;“a garage” for robots and rovers-serves as a recharging place for the equipment used to explor.The habitats will be covered with lunar regolith, and the resistance structure will be made by robots with 3D printers;the base will be placed in a small crater,for protection.

Close to the Lunar Poles

We decided to place our 21SFV Lunar Base at the Lunar Poles,more exactly at the South Pole.Our base will be placed underground,in the Aitken Bassin,in a small crater.Here, the temperature is from -50 degrees up to 0 degrees Celsius,more suitable for humans survival.Also,the South Pole is the ideal place to use radio signal and radio wawes.The continous sunshine will help because it will provide sufficient energy for our shelter and to grow plants in our sera.Here,the shadowed places contain ice-water. That is why we placed our base close to an underground lava tube to acces the resource.

Since the shadowed placed contain water-ice we intend to use a heating drill to melt it and get water.Because the lunar soil is difficult to dig that’s why we will use a lava tube.Since water is important we will recycle every drop.We know that this aim is impossible but the recycled water represents a good back-up plan.The water will be used directly synthesized for the astronauts use and for the irrigation of the seras, our greenhouses.Also the iced deposits can be converted through the process of electrolysis into oxigen and fuel and used to extract other mineral.

The greenhouses it will assure: patatoes, corn, soy, tomatoes etc.The greenhouse is protected from sun radiation with a coat made from regolith.Also, they are equiped with an authomatic irrigation system which use recicled water and with an fertilisation system which use the waste from the lunar base.Before the greenhouse produced food, supplies from Earth provided for astronauts needs.

Here every day is sunny. Sunlight will provide all lunar based power system by using lunar made solar cells. Solar energy will be concentrated with mirrors to create hight temperatures and light for greenhouses/seras. Our power generator will store energy to cover the momets of ocasional eclipse which represents short periods of darkness that lasts 3 to 5 days. The sunlight also serves for recharging the robots and rovers and other technological equipment used for exploring the moon.

The Moon has no atmosphere and that’s why we designed the base to provide a safe environment. Oxygen and hidrogen will be extracted from lunar components. E.g. we can extract oxygen from lunar soil – the content of oxygencan reach 40%). Also the roof ot the astronauts habitats has integrated a system that monitor and enshure the air quality.

First, the robots will prepare the areas.To build the 21SFV Lunar Camp resistance structure and the walls we will use lunar rocks (basalt).The interior and exterior coat and other useful elements are made by robots with 3D printers from regolith mixt with different additives.The walls of the base will be thick enough to prevent atmospheric preasure.Also are used some material brought from Earth as: aerogel and special paint.For thermal isolation aerogel is mixed with all the material used for the construction.To prevent gas spillover is used an airthight paint.Lunar natural glass is used for the cuppola of the comand tower.

Our base is located in a small crater which offers protection from the meteorites impact and from the Sun radiation.The temperature is more suitable and the water is close.The astronauts habitats are interconected with each others (sleeping/sport and relaxing/eating area) and with other spaces:the command tower,the laboratory,the garrage, greenhouses.All the spaces have exits and the capsules are equiped with an emergency escape function.Special areas are designed for launch spaceships to return safely to the Earth.The roof has integrated a system that monitors and ensures the air quality,temperature and humidity.The cuppola windows offer acces around and benefits from the light.

The base can accommodate 3 astronauts.In a normal day the schendule may look like this:
1.Breakfast time
2.Research activity-experiments on the Moon surface using rovers and robots;storage of meteorits (because is no atmosphere on the Moon and the meteorits are well preserved these are subject of research), minerals and frosts
(or in some days)
Checking the generator and all the electrical lysing cables from the solar panels (the energy level can be ajust according to the different needs of astronauts and plants)
3.Lunch time
4.Observing the greenhouse: checking the authomatic irrigation system-which use recicled water and the fertilization system-which use the waste transformed into compost
(or)
Working in the second laboratory to extract water, hidrogen, oxygen and fuell from Moon components.
5.Time for a little exercise on the gym – this activity is important is you want to stay healthy because different gravity affects the coordination, balance, muscles, heart, bones, and sense of space.
6.Dinner time
7.Feed-back of the day.21SFV Moon Camp Calling Earth – at this time the astronauts use the main radio telecommunication center located in the comand tower to present some results (research/observation/experiments) e.g.:the study of the life support system and the artificial biosphere in close environments; if the oxygen produced by plants from the greenhouse can be breathed by astronauts; observation/remarcs on how plants grown in the lunar soil.
8.Relax time (read a book, play a video game, see a movie, chat with families and friends)
9.Tomorrow is a new day!
