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

We are trying to build a station for touring and studying the moon.There are four sections in
our program,the living section,the lab,the garage and the energy section,each of which is built
with high-quality materials and consists of a lot of sceince machines. The main parts of our Moon
Camp are under the moon surface in order to avoid aerolites. Factors like air, food and water
have been considered carefully

Where do you want to build your Moon Camp?

Except the garage, other portions are burried 40m under the surface so as to decrease the
damage of falling stones’ frequent hits. As the garage is behind the mountains’ shield, it is safe
from the stones

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

First, energy and self circulation areas will be built to facilitate the camp to enter orbit as soon
as possible, and the construction materials of this part will be transported by launch vehicles to
the moon and constructed by robots. A small factory will be built to extract titanium and other
metals from the lunar soil to build other parts of the living area. As for precision instruments,
they will be transported from earth to the moon, while living objects will be manufactured by 3D
printing to reduce transportation costs.

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

The living place will be under the ground. It can protect our astronauts from being hit
directly.And we have plenty of emergancy foods,water and air just in case we meet some
unexpected situations. Our remote-control cars can also reduce the risk.

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

The water will be melted by solid water ice mined by the Rover from the bottom of the crater.
After filtering and killing, it becomes irrigation water and domestic water. As for drinking water, it
will also be filtered and disinfected to avoid being infected with unknown viruses from space.

The early food in the camp is compressed biscuits, canned food, etc. one month after the completion of the recycling area, there will be cabbage and other relatively mature vegetables as
supplementary food. In another month, we will be able to eat potatoes produced on the moon as
staple food. As for the source of protein, it will be Tenebrio molitor and other protein rich insects.
Of course, they can also eat bean products later. If we are lucky, delicious vegatables after
successful variation can be enjoyed.

The remaining part will be stored in the battery. In addition, hydrogen batteries are also
available in various areas as emergency power supply in case of emergency. Astronauts’ daily
exercise supplies some of them as well.

The air will be transported (by independent pipelines to connect the regions), the carbon
dioxide will be transported to the self circulation area for photosynthesis, the insufficient oxygen
will be obtained by electrolysis of water, and the by-product hydrogen will be stored as
emergency energy. In addition, oxygen tanks will be prepared in each area for emergency
response.

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

Scientific research and tour.
We have unmanned moon cars with robot arms to collect mine and stones and labs to analyze
them. These cars include self-control pattern in routine work and remote-control pattern for
special assignments. Seeds under intense radiation of the universe are studied and cultivated by
biologists.
We have full sets of applications for tourist to live on this planet and keep them away from all
kinds of danger(expect the aliens).They can enjoy the different scenery on this unlovely planet
and experience the mivrogravity,which will be very fresh to them.

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

Waking up after a nice sleep,X feels good.He puts the clothes on,looks at the clock.The Moon
car should arrive in minutes,he thinks.Drunk a glass of water,he opens his computer,new datas
pop up.It’s the latest research report on Moon water.As the Moon car arrived,he needs to write
another one about the stones.Some researchers will be in the garage,they are responsible for
car’s examination and repair if necessary. Maybe today is a good day to take the tour car and
enjoy a sightseeing.
Some astronauts are in the gym.They ride bikes, jog or do push-ups. These ensure their good
health.
Some astronauts are space farmers,they grow cabbages and potatoes.Tourists can join them
too if they want to experience this unforgettable activity.
Other tourists can just stay at the living section,which is very beautiful,having a rest or reading
news from the earth.
For those tourists who want to explore this world,they can go outside with the exploring
team.They won’t do the same as the moon cars do,instead,they study the geography of the
moon.
In science research section, samples of soil, stones and seeds under radiation are studied.
Genic experiments are done by scentists. Every day’s research is ended up with a report to the
earth. When the night comes,all the crew will get back to the living section,enjoy the meal and went
to bed,while moon cars may still keep working
