Project description

Our base is a scientific research project built in the south pole of the moon with the main purpose of communication and observation. First, the base contains a set of solar panels made of polysilicon, gallium arsenide and other materials to power the large laser radio telescope and the base. Secondly, there is a transparent protective cover made of Weige metal and other materials outside the base to prevent meteorite impact, and the protective cover can isolate the hazards of cosmic rays to ensure the safety of astronauts. Then, the base contains a large-scale experimental building for scientific researchers, and a “Sky Tower” with vegetable culture room, meat production room, oxygen production area (this area contains a large electrolytic water device, which uses ice in the crater near the polar region to produce oxygen), water supply room and rest area. In addition, in order to facilitate the work of astronauts on the moon, the base is also equipped with two lunar rovers. No.1 lunar rover is an unmanned rover, which is used to monitor the humidity and temperature of the lunar surface and observe the lunar landforms. Lunar rover No.2 is a manned vehicle that can transport materials. Finally, at the Lagrange point above the moon, there is a satellite to observe the universe and send signals back to earth.

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

The main location of our base is the Shackleton area of Antarctica (0.0 ° e, 89.9 ° s)

1. Shackleton area is under light 80% of the time, which can provide sufficient energy for the base, and the temperature in this area is relatively constant compared with other areas. 2. There are a lot of craters near Antarctica. Due to the lack of light, the craters contain a lot of ice, which can provide water for the base and fuel for the lunar rover. 3. The malapert mountain near the area is 5000 meters high, and its peak can always be seen by the earth. It is a natural deep space observation site. 4. There are a lot of moon seas near the area, and the terrain is flat, which is conducive to the construction of the base and the take-off and landing of the spacecraft.

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

First, we will build parts of some buildings on earth and transport them to the moon with rockets. Considering the high cost of conventional material supply and because the weathered soil on the moon is not suitable for building materials, we intend to use mobile 3D printing technology. The dust on the surface of the moon is extracted, and the mixture with urea produces a polymer, and then the adhesive is ejected during printing to synthesize the whole lunar soil. In addition, we will adopt a “catenary” dome, which has a wall with inflatable cellular unit structure, which has high strength and light weight. In addition, we will use polymethyl acrylamide and polycarbonate and critical metal as protective covers, and add a layer of equivalent tissue plastic and charged fiber fabric to the cover. Because of the large size of the laser radio telescope and economic consideration, we intend to build it on the moon. There are a lot of silicon dioxide and metal oxides on the moon surface. The metal oxide can be melted and electrolyzed to obtain metal, and silicon can be obtained by high temperature to build telescope. Finally, astronauts and materials are transported to the moon, and the astronauts will carry out the final assembly.

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

First of all, we used a high-strength protective cover above the base, which contains materials such as polymethylmethacrylate and polycarbonate to resist meteorites and cosmic rays. Secondly, we put a layer of coating made of silica on the outside of the building to enhance the strength of the building. The application of electrified fiber fabric reduces the appearance of lunar dust. In order to prevent oxygen exposure, we use good air tightness coating chloroprene nylon tape and other materials to make an air tight layer. For emergencies, we also built a shelter next to the research institute to protect the people in the base

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

When the charged particles flow to the moon at a speed of 450 kilometers per second by using the lunar Antarctic solar wind, the surface of the moon can be rich in components that can make water. When the protons flow to the moon, the particles interact with the electrons on the surface of the moon to form hydrogen (H) atoms. These atoms then migrate on the surface and lock in a large number of oxygen (o) atoms in silicon dioxide (SiO2) and other oxygen-containing molecules that make up the lunar soil or weathering layer. Hydrogen and oxygen together form hydroxyl (OH), which is the component of water (H2O).

First of all, a large number of artificial climate chambers are built to ensure the constant temperature conditions of plant growth. Secondly, the use of microorganisms brought from the earth to change the lunar soil, try to plant trees on the moon, and then, to a certain extent, you can obtain sufficient resources such as water, oxygen and sunlight, and carry out soilless cultivation to obtain vegetables to supplement the astronauts’ vitamins. In addition, water on the moon and fish eggs brought by human beings are used for “moon hatching”

The mass spectrometer was used to measure the weight of oxygen extracted from the surface cuttings, and molten calcium chloride at 950 ° C was placed in a metal basket by means of lava electrolysis. Lava conducts electricity, so an electrode can be placed at each end. The surface cuttings will not melt in this basket, but will produce an important chemical reaction, so that oxygen atoms are released and transported to the positive electrode, and then a series of technical operations can be carried out to obtain oxygen.

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

In terms of scientific research, we mainly realize the communication function between the moon and the earth, so as to better facilitate the exchange and exploration of the value of the moon. Secondly, we will use the laser emitted by the laser in the research laboratory to obtain the communication function through the movement of the Lagrangian orbit. Then, solar panels are used as carriers to carry out a series of scientific operations. For example, through environmental exploration, vegetables can be planted on the moon, soilless cultivation and “lunar incubation” can be carried out, and the internal composition of lunar rocks can be explored, so as to find available minerals on the moon.

报错 笔记

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

When the astronaut began a new day, he was in the vegetable area to observe the growth of soilless vegetables and to conduct genetic research. Because there is a difference between water on earth and water produced, astronauts need to compare to get their differences between animals and plants. Before driving, he added hydrazine to the rover and drove to mount malapert to collect soil samples to detect elements and whether it contained ice or water. Then go to the nearby area to observe the terrain, and investigate whether there is a suitable place for human habitation and the terrain suitable for the detector to land. Then the astronauts returned to rest. On the afternoon of sun day, astronauts went to the studio to analyze and test the soil collected in the morning, and then draw topographic map of morning exploration. Then astronauts go to radio telescope and radar area for communication and cosmological observation, and control radar to launch laser to contact the earth, then open radio telescope, conduct cosmic observation, and transmit the observed data back to earth in real time. Then write a detailed work report. After all this, the astronauts returned to the lounge, looked out of the window for a while, talked to their family, and ended the day.
