Registrations are closed for Moon Camp @Home 2019-2020.

In a future not too far from now, astronauts will have to stay for long periods on the Moon. By participating in Moon Camp @Home you can help them by creating a 3D model of a research base where they can live and work to explore the lunar surface.

You can design a creative lunar base using Tinkercad and complete one of these challenges: design a lunar lander, a lunar rover, a rocket and a space station, or design a complete base on the Moon with astronauts quarters, a greenhouse, a gym, a laboratory and a power plant.

For more information consult the guidelines of Moon Camp @Home here.

Project description

Overview of the NxtBase: Lunar NxtBase is the next-generation base on the moon. The first floor consists of a garage, a power machine that supplies energy over the whole base, and an attached greenhouse for astronauts to discover life on the moon. There are also four 360 degree large solar panels installed outside the base to gather more energy from the sun.

The second floor covers the astronaut’s dormitory, gym, laboratory and studio.

The equipment in the gym is specially made for astronauts to exercise to maintain a robust body. The completion of the laboratory provides data and feasibility analysis for astronauts to understand whether the moon is suitable for long-term human habitation. The dormitory provides the best resting place for each astronaut and provides some personal-belongings- storage-areas. The studio is the main room and is a space used to communicate with the Earth, as well as daily work arrangements and assignments.
