Moon Camp Pioneers Gallery 2020-2021

In Moon Camp Pioneers each team’s mission is to 3D design a complete Moon Camp using Fusion 360. They also have to explain how they will use local resources, protect astronauts from the dangerous of space and describe the living and working facilities.

Project description

On the moon, our most important task is to survive. So our project will try to make our astronauts survive in every way! Of course, I will also carry out certain exploration activities. We have a perfect oxygen supply system, domestic garbage collection system, energy system, and we will also exercise our body, and enjoy and live a safe life.

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

The moon resources are scarce. Our camp must be built in a place with relatively abundant resources, first of all water, and then topography. Considering that we will build our camp in the Arctic crater, topography is our first consideration, which is the basis of everything. Good topography can save us a lot of materials.

How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Describe the techniques and materials you would use.

We all know that lunar soil contains a lot of silicon. We will carry Fresnel lens to make high-strength glass from lunar soil. Lunar soil can make many useful materials. Lunar soil contains a lot of silicon, which is an important material. It can produce a lot of glass. We can also use lunar soil to build buildings. Fresnel lens can help us make glass.

The environment on the Moon is very dangerous for the astronauts. Explain how your Moon Camp will protect them.

Our monthly camp is divided into two parts: the ground and the underground. The underground part is our main living place, including sleeping, exercise and so on. The thick lunar land can block some radiation and has a certain insulation effect. We also have protective measures for the above ground part, which is the planting area.

Explain how your Moon Camp will provide the astronauts with:
Water
Food
Electricity
Air

Of course, we also get some water from the earth. If necessary, we will use spacecraft fuel to make some water.

Our camp is in the north pole of the moon, where there is a lot of ice. We can use solar energy to deice and store it,

Solar energy is our main energy source. Lunar soil contains a lot of He3. Nuclear fusion will be applied in the future. By then, the energy problem will be solved. At the beginning, we will use solar energy. Solar energy is the easiest energy to obtain.

Our main oxygen comes from electrolyzed water. Electrolyzed water can obtain both oxygen and hydrogen. It will solve some energy problems at the same time. At the same time, the plants we grow will also produce some oxygen.

Explain what would be the main purpose of your Moon Camp (for example: commercial, scientific, and/or tourist purposes).

Our main oxygen comes from electrolyzed water. Electrolyzed water can obtain both oxygen and hydrogen. It will solve some energy problems at the same time. At the same time, the plants we grow will also produce some oxygen.

Describe a day on the Moon for your Moon Camp astronaut crew.

First of all, we get up at 6 o’clock in the morning and do some exercise for about 10 minutes. Then we go back to have breakfast. Then we check the equipment and the growth of vegetables. Only in this way can we rest assured of the beginning of the day, and then we will start the day’s scientific research. First, we will dig the earth for research. Of course, we are working separately. Some people study the soil, some people study the solar storm, and some people study the history of the moon. We firmly believe that there is a special relationship between the moon and the earth. After lunch, there will be rest time, followed by exercise and scientific research. In the evening, we can relax, listen to music, watch movies and chat with our family. Finally, we can take a bath, and then we can go to sleep at about ten o’clock.
