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.

This is the main part of the lunar base which is the database, it will have supercomputers and radars and sonars inside it so that it can control the whole lunar base. Outpost, receive and send signals to Earth, different satellite’s etc. The Radars and supercomputers will predict some future consequences which can damage the lunar base like several major asteroids or comets etc so that they can be ready for it several months ago! The people also have to create an artificial O3 (Ozone) layer or something like that to protect minor asteroid hits.

This is one of the most important conceptual and practical components of the Munar Base, this will create and generate oxygen artificially like biometrics, combustion, electrolysis etc. where oxygen is always the main part or byproduct. This will transport oxygen to all components of the lunar base.

This is very complex because water is found on the moon and this will also artificially make minerals and nutrients which the plants will need in soil and there will be soil from where the minerals can be put into and the plants will have oxygen, water, minerals artificially and from the soil and will have sunlight as the glass is very high tech which will absorb sunlight and give it to the plant so they can grow well and can photosynthesise and respire so more oxygen can come and carbon dioxide can go.

This is maybe the most important part of the lunar base because the atmosphere inside this base will be just like the earth, atmosphere will contain gases and in the right proportion. The glass here will have the same tech as the part before, absorbing sunlight etc. This is a place where all the people can rest and stay and the atmospheric pressure will be the same as the normal sea level of the Earth or else bleeding can happen.
