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.

The main purpose of the camp-scientific
The main purpose of the camp is to conduct scientific research, namely to study the existence of Earth microorganisms living on Earth plants and cultured in lunar camps, and to explore whether other microorganisms exist on the surface of the moon.
other uses 1-tourism
It can also be used as a place to visit for short periods of time, allowing Earth dwellers to really immerse themselves in scenes of life on the moon that they would otherwise only see in the news or science fiction, so the camp is also a fantastic tourist attraction.
other uses 2-commercial
At the same time because of its advanced scientific research direction and complete living facilities, it also has a certain commercial value.
the great aim & expectation towards our camp-for a better and advancing world
We have built this camp with our greatest enthusiasm to express our grand visions of the present scientific world and future life, and to some extent, to better advance the development of modern biology, astronomy, and human understanding of this vast unknown universe.
Water
As for water sources, we can make good use of the lunar water ice resources in Shackleton Crater, and ensure water for daily life and experiments through a complete water recycling system. We will also carry a certain amount of hydrogen and oxygen from the Earth to convert into water.
Food
And our waste recycling and food growing chamber, which includes the earth’s daily food and a variety of nutrient-rich algae, is the perfect solution to food problems.
Air
The air circulation system in the camp and the oxygen carried by the launch vehicles can ensure the astronauts’ normal life comfort. Meanwhile, the plants we have cultivated, including the algae with high photosynthetic efficiency, can release a large amount of oxygen. We have also prepared advanced systems for converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Energy
Finally, thanks to year-round sunlight around Shackleton Crater, our large solar panels and the electrical conversion of energy generated by astronauts’ mechanical movements, there is no need to worry about energy.
In a single toilet in our washroom, we have a human waste recycling system that compresses and processes human waste into a fertilizer and fuel source for the food growing room and algae culture area in our lunar camp. Meanwhile, human urine can also be processed into water for watering and daily drinking. And at the end of each meal, automatic retractable pipes collect food scraps and process them into new food and fertilizer. Carbon dioxide produced by everything living in the camp, including humans, microbes and plants, can be converted into usable gases, such as oxygen, by special means. By the same token, other everyday waste can also be recycled.
Our main console is equipped with high-intensity radar and signal transduction systems to communicate with the Earth Space Agency’s control center. There are electronic displays in each section of the camp, as well as automatic voice reading systems to inform members of the latest news, and similar small communication watches on members’ spacesuits. If the base’s communication channels are destroyed, the watch can still be used.
Our main scientific research interests
biology, including botany and microbiology, but also involves astronomy
Our detailed lunar scientific research direction
That is to study the existence of Earth microorganisms living on Earth plants and cultured in lunar camps, and to explore whether there are other microorganisms on the surface of the moon through the lunar rover.
Other scientific researches involves
At the same time, changes in the astronauts’ own living conditions can also be considered as part of scientific research. If the astronauts have psychological changes, they can be considered as psychological research. Social habits and social trajectories of astronauts who live in groups on the Moon are bound to change, which is also a subject of sociological research.
On Earth, we will conduct high-intensity and large-scale life training and physical exercise for astronauts in a weightless environment, such as underwater environment and high-speed rotating machines to simulate the weightless environment on the moon. At the same time, we will try to expand the theoretical knowledge of the astronauts so that they can better maintain the lunar camp and do scientific research. The relevant scientific research content and detailed experimental operation will also be simulated on Earth many times, and the classification operation of the multiple electronic systems and robots we set up will also require astronauts to master. And finally, we’re going to try to keep the astronauts in the best possible mental state, building up their resilience and resilience to cope with the harsh lunar environment and the problems that may come at any time.
We need lots of lunar rovers, at least one launch vehicle and various of mobile robots.
The rocket(s)
The rocket is suitable for astronauts to get to and from Earth, and if necessary, to aid tourism.
The lunar rovers
The main purpose of the rover is to explore other parts of the moon that have not been explored by humans, not only for astronomy, but also to explore more of the moon for our scientific purposes, which is to look for lunar microbes.
The mobile robots
In addition to assisting in daily life, the mobile robot is also used like a lunar rover, and can carry petri dishes of microorganisms to and from the camp.
