Moon Camp Pioneers 2022 – 2023 Project Gallery

 

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

1.1 – Project Description

A site for 2 astronauts, with power source, recycling system, food growth chamber, Protection (from meteorites and radiation) and Living and working facilities.

1.2 – Why do you want to build a Moon Camp? Explain the main purpose of your Moon Camp (for example scientific, commercial and/or touristic purposes).

Moon is the first step for Mars.

2.1 – Where do you want to build your Moon Camp? Explain your choice.

Dark side of the Moon, a truly challenge!!

2.2 – How do you plan to build your Moon Camp? Consider how you can utilise the Moon’s natural resources, and which materials you would need to bring from Earth. Describe the techniques, materials and your design choices.

Using a Gantt project, measuring time and quantities.

2.3 – How does your Moon Camp protect and provide shelter to your astronauts against the Moon’s harsh environment?

Over all, the radiation: gold plates.

3.1 – How will your Moon Camp provide astronauts with sustainable access to basic needs like water, food, air and power?

Ice from Moon converted in water.

Synthetic food from proteins.

3.2 – How will your Moon Camp deal with the waste produced by the astronauts on the Moon?

A compost fabric.

3.3 – How will your Moon Camp maintain communications with Earth and other Moon bases?

By microwaves, as smartphones do.

4.1 – What scientific topic(s) would be the focus of the research in your Moon Camp? Explain which experiments you plan to do on the Moon (for example in the topics of geology, low gravity environment, biology, technology, robotics, astronomy etc.).

Biology: crops of vegetables and new species of fruits.

5.1 – What would you include in your astronaut training programme, to help prepare the astronauts for a Moon mission?

Relaxing by music, yoga and pilates.

Work out by cropping and building.

5.2 – What space vehicles will your future Moon mission need? Describe the vehicles found in your Moon camp and consider how you will travel to and from Earth, and explore new destinations on the Moon’s surface.

A rover as vehicle by electric batteries.
