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.

Project description


SATELITE

A satellite is a natural object that orbits a larger one. The Moon is a natural satellite and it is the only natural object that revolves around the Earth.

Artificial satellites are used to send and receive communications for massive use such as telephony, television or the Internet, they also serve to provide educational services.
COMPONENTS:
SOLAR PANELS: Consists of two identical regions symmetrically extended on the north and south walls of the satellite ...
ANTENNAS: The antennas used preferably in communications via satellites are parabolic antennas.
CLOUD METER: They are incredibly small particles suspended in the air.
MONITORING CAMERA: Camera that tracks targets to build sharper images.
