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.

3D design software: Fusion 360
Our main purpose in establishing lunar campsites is for scientific research, mechanical manufacturing, exploration of lunar minerals, exploration, extraction, research of resources such as helium 3 and water ice, as well as pharmaceutical manufacturing and plant cultivation on the moon. At the same time, we have established an observatory to observe the universe. To provide humans with a further understanding of the living environment of the moon and facilitate the evaluation and utilization of lunar resources.
Water：The water source of the base is mainly used for drinking, plant irrigation, energy generation, etc. We process and filter the recoverable ice from the South Pole of the Moon to provide the main water supply, and a water purification system is installed inside the base to purify the generated domestic wastewater for irrigation. In addition, the base is equipped with a condensate collection system inside to repeatedly collect some water sources.（
Food：We plan to carry some basic food, oxygen, and drinking water to the moon first. Due to the abundant light here, we will establish a greenhouse for growing cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. In addition, we will also establish hydroponic compartments for long-term cultivation of vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and are an indispensable part of lunar personnel.
Power：Due to its location on the edge of Shackleton Crater at the south pole of the moon, the base can provide almost full day sunlight here. Therefore, we are building photovoltaic panels around the base to provide basic electricity for the base. At the same time, when the photovoltaic panels cannot work, there are small fusion and reaction devices inside the base to provide electricity, and all the electricity will be stored in supercapacitor batteries.
Air：Oxygen is mainly produced by electrolysis of lunar soil to generate a large amount of oxygen, which is introduced into the exhaust pipeline to supply the base’s breathing and alleviate convection phenomena, thereby depositing carbon dioxide. At the same time, there is a micro ecological life support system inside the base that uses algae to absorb carbon dioxide and release a small amount of oxygen.
In our camps, waste is mainly divided into water rubbish and solid rubbish, which is purified and filtered into the energy area for reuse. Solid rubbish includes material rubbish, catering rubbish, plant rubbish, etc., part of the material rubbish into the compressor for compression, crushing, dissolution, secondary use, catering rubbish and plant rubbish using high temperature aerobic fermentation treatment, the product can be used as organic fertilizer, the carbon dioxide produced by fermentation can be passed into the agricultural area as a raw material for photosynthesis.
We will use our 4G base station to achieve information exchange between each base station at any time, if the device is damaged by a solar storm, we can also send our robot to communicate, let the robot carry encrypted files, wireless control through satellites, send it to other base stations, to achieve communication.
Geology: The laboratory is equipped with mining vehicles, which can easily collect lunar soil for analysis, and we also have robotic arms and chemical laboratories for analyzing the composition and formation of lunar soil, and conducting experiments such as transformation and development of lunar soil.
Astronomy: We have established an observatory to study the evolution of astronomy and observe the changes between the Earth and the Moon. and the motion of the planets of the solar system, as well as the motion connections between the sun, moon, and earth, etc., and observe them in real time.
Biology: We will study the growth and development of plants in low gravity and conduct experiments on plant genetic modification in space.
Space adaptability training: The training program should include space adaptability training to help astronauts adapt to the space environment and prevent space sickness and other related problems.
Flight skills training: The training plan should include flight skills training so that astronauts can master the operational skills of the aircraft and the ability to deal with common mechanical failures.
Training in space medicine and life support technologies: The training program should include training in space medicine and life support technologies to equip astronauts with space health and medical technology to ensure that they can maintain a healthy state in the space environment.
Spacecraft Operations and Emergency Response Capability Training: The training program should include spacecraft operation and emergency handling capability training to equip astronauts with the ability to respond to emergencies and ensure that the spacecraft can return safely to Earth.
Training in geology and mining techniques: The training program should include training in geology and mining techniques to familiarize astronauts with the geological features of the lunar surface and corresponding collection techniques to ensure that the collected samples and minerals can be recovered and used.
Teamwork and mental health training: The training program should include teamwork and mental health training to equip astronauts with a good sense of teamwork and the ability to cope with stress to ensure the successful completion of the mission.
We will transport astronauts from Earth to the moon by rocket, and at the Lagrange point of the moon and the earth, we will build a space station, launch the spacecraft to the transit station at the Lagrange point, and then fill the propellant produced on the moon here, and at the same time, launch the L1-lunar round-trip vehicle from the moon to pick up the spacecraft, and transport astronauts or materials for building a lunar base from the transit station to the moon.
