In the future, to enable astronauts to stay on the Moon for long periods of time, new infrastructures must be developed to overcome important challenges. Such challenges include protection from radiation and meteorites, energy production, the extraction and recycling of water, food production and much more. The Moon Camp Challenge invites students to explore the Moon and decode some of the complexities future astronauts may face.

In Moon Camp Discovery each team’s mission is to 3D design only one component of a Moon Camp using Tinkercad. Teams can choose to design a:

– Lunar lander

– Moon Base

– Lunar rover

– Rocket

– Lunar Orbital Space Station

The design should be adapted to the Moon environment and if possible consider the use of local resources, provide protection and/or living and working facilities for the astronauts.

Moon Camp Discovery is a non-competitive mission for beginners. All teams that submit an entry that complies with the guidelines will receive a participation certificate and their project will be shared on the Moon Camp online platform.

Who can participate?

Participation is open worldwide to students aged up to 19 years old. Moon Camp Discovery is recommended for students aged 6 to 14 years old. Participating students must be supported by a teacher, educator or parent.

We created a really complex project, above and below the ground

Our objectives:
– Science experiments
– Early Warning System against life threating asteroids for Earth
– Rocket Launch Base for Inter-Planetary launches (to Mars, to asteroid mining)
– Mining HQ using Moon Raw Materials
– Travel accomodation for space travel turists
– Biological Backup System for Earth Seeds and Earth DNA (due low temperatures)
– Quantum Computers Datacenter (due low temperatures)
LIVING & WORKING
– living quarters
– science labs
– gym
– bath
– medical lab
– storage
– garages for Moon Rovers, equiped with reparing docs and tools
– 3d printing modules (including bio-printers for human tissues)
EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES
– spaceport – where supply rockets will land
– Deep Space Telescope
– Multi Radar system (incoming/outgoing spacecraft, debries, meteorites, )
– communication with Earth
– satelite receiving from Geo-Stationary Moon Orbiter Satelites (Galileo Moon)
– Solar Farm Mirrors (on soil)
