Our Moon Camp has a main part laid out on 5 floors. There is a gym, a conference room, an operating room and two rooms with greenery for astronauts to rest. The next important part is a greehouse – “betonik” which is actually made out of concrete, there astronauts grow plants for food and oxygen. The other parts are slide out fields of solar panels, a Rover garage connected with a workshop, minimalistically equipped rooms for astronauts, and an excavator for digging.

Close to the Lunar Poles

We chose the area of the South Pole because of the availability of different resources in one place. We could get water from ice and also oxygen from the Moon´s crust. Due to the position of the Moon 5 degrees to the Earth’s axis communication with the Earth would be better .Moreover, at the pole it would be possible to use solar energy for a longer period of time per day.

Because of the location of the base, we will get water from the ice which is located there. For that reason we will build a vehicle with a tank where the ice could be stored and then used at the base. There will also be an excavator to process the ice around the base. Not to mention the use of water recycling system like system used on ISS.

We will get food mainly from growing plants in greenhouse (“betonik”). In case of invention of 3D printer which can print food we can use this alternative too.
The filaments for the 3D food printer will be shipped in spacecrafts.

We will get most of the energy from a large array of solar panels distributed around the base. The small amount of energy will be gained from the gym.

We will use one of the ISS ideas about getting hydrogen and oxygen from water electrolysis. Because we have our greenhouse (“betonik”) built, we will get most of oxygen from plants growing inside. As a backup plan we can use oxygen available in the Moon´s crust.

First of all, our rocket will bring a 3D printer to the Moon. We will print objects from the regolith. Then we will print the greenhouse “betonik“ where we will plant the imported plants. We will also build air filtration system. The main room will be next. We will build the infirmary/operating room and the gym.
Next step will be producing the solar panels, a water storage, a garage with laboratory. We will distribute the cables and connect the electricity.
Other rockets will bring necessary equipment for all the rooms.
Finally, we will build a radar, a satellite and antennas.

A “simple” system of detecting asteroids by a radar system will be used. Astronauts will be protected mainly by the fact that most of the Moon Camp will be located underground. Regolit is good materiál for isolation, so astronauts will be protected by it against radiation polution and high temperature deflections. In time of need, escape pods for the astronauts will be ready. The concrete ‘‘greehouse‘‘ will be utilized to ensure circulation of oxygen all around the Moon Camp.

At 6:00 the astronaut wakes up.
At 7:00 the astronaut has breakfast with other astronauts.
At 8:00 the stroll/exploration begins. During the stroll/exploration the astronaut collects resources for the Moon Camp to run properly, or collects samples for experiments.
At 12:00 the astronaut eats in the common room with other astronauts.
At 13:00 the astronaut rests in his/her room or common room.
At 13:30 the astronaut processes findings from his/her stroll/exploration outside.
At 14:30 the astronaut trains in the gym.
At 17:00 the astronaut checks if the Moon Base functions properly without any problems.
At 18:30 the astronaut trains in the gym again.
At 21:00 the astronaut dines with other astronauts or by himself/herself in his room.
At 22:00 the astronaut goes to sleep.
