1.Everyone has a dream of standing in the universe and gazing at the Earth. Based on this dream, we are committed to building the most livable home base, allowing lunar landers to quickly adapt to lunar life, fully immerse themselves in appreciating the universe, and also enable researchers to conduct related research better. We use melting point to decompose lunar soil to produce necessary oxygen, extract water resources from lunar water ice, and use existing solar energy technology and newly developed biomimetic chromium batteries to supply sufficient electricity to the base, in order to ensure the normal life of lunar personnel.
2.The construction of the Moon Eye meets the needs of human exploration of the moon and the utilization of lunar space, meeting the long-term living needs of lunar landers, and realizing the world’s lunar dream.
3.The Eye of the Moon represents humanity’s view of the universe and serves as a springboard for continued exploration of the universe; It also represents humanity’s reflection on Earth and expresses their attachment to the Earth Mother.Section 2 – Living on the Moon
The main purpose of establishing a lunar camp is to achieve sustainable human development and exploration in space, while promoting the development of science, commerce, and tourism. The following are the main purposes of lunar campsites:
Scientific research: Lunar campsites can provide a platform for conducting various scientific research on the lunar surface. By collecting lunar samples and conducting scientific experiments, a large amount of valuable data and information can be obtained in the space environment, promoting human understanding and exploration of the universe.
Commercial development: Moon camps can also be used for commercial development, such as excavating mineral resources on the lunar surface, constructing facilities for the space industry, etc. These commercial activities will be an important component of the space economy, bringing abundant resources and opportunities to humanity.
Tourism purpose: The lunar campsite will provide a unique destination for space tourism, allowing tourists to realize their dreams on the surface of the moon.
In addition to the above objectives, lunar camps can also achieve long-term survival and development of human space environment, and humans can build space shelters and other infrastructure to achieve energy utilization and production. Thus laying an important foundation for human future development and space exploration, while also having a certain mitigating and protective effect on Earth’s resources.
Therefore, establishing a lunar camp is of great significance and value, which will promote human development in space exploration and applications, and provide more opportunities and possibilities for human future.
The lunar north pole “Philolaus” crater – located at the north pole of the moon, most of the year has sufficient sunlight to meet the acquisition of solar energy, and the underground contains a large amount of loosely distributed water ice, which is convenient for the acquisition and utilization of water resources. So we will build our lunar base on the lunar surface and craters at the same time, which means that our base is a moon-up and down-moon complex.
First of all, by launching a rocket to the moon to build a robot, and related materials necessary but not on the moon, we instruct the construction robot on Earth through communication to use the lunar soil to build the base shell, and then use the rocket to launch oxygen generators and solar energy conversion equipment, and arrange for some lunar landers to experience in advance and improve the base facilities. After humans landed on the moon, the materials brought from the earth and the existing resources of the moon were used to improve the base, so that the base could meet the needs of human survival.
Our building materials are made of a combination of Whipple shield and polyethylene to isolate astronauts from sunlight, while resisting the impact of small meteorites and building underground shelters to prevent casualties caused by large meteorite impacts.
Water：We will use the lunar rover to collect water ice and obtain water resources, while using water recycling systems to maximize water utilization.
Food：We will grow vegetables on the moon and transport meat through 3D printing artificial meat and rockets to meet the nutritional needs of astronauts.
Air:We have established an oxygen production zone separately, and oxygen is produced by high-temperature electrolytic melting of lunar soil.
Power：It mainly uses solar energy and at the same time uses bioenergy. We have built large-scale solar panels to obtain solar energy, and convert solar energy into electricity through batteries to maintain normal life on the moon and avoid the instability of solar energy.
Recycling waste: The lunar campsite must recycle domestic wastewater, exhaust gas, feces, and waste to reduce waste generation, while fully reusing reusable items. For example, the methane generated from astronaut feces and anaerobic treatment can be used as electrical energy or fuel.
Garbage incineration: The harmless treatment of waste is carried out through high-temperature combustion, which ultimately converts it into carbon dioxide and ash. This treatment method can reduce the volume and weight of waste, while also reducing the pollution of waste gas to the environment.
Mineral separation: Waste is separated into valuable components through technical means to achieve reuse. For example, using hydrothermal reactions to separate elements such as aluminum, magnesium, and potassium from waste and recycle them as raw materials.
Aerobic treatment method: Waste is treated through microbial decomposition, converting organic waste into biogas and water. The remaining waste is disinfected, dehydrated, and compressed before storage, effectively reducing waste generation and environmental impact3.3 How will your Moon Camp maintain communications with Earth and other Moon bases?
1.Wireless communication: The moon camp can use wireless communication technologies, such as radio and laser communication, to communicate with the earth. This communication method can convert information through transmitting and receiving antennas, achieving data transmission and reception.
2Satellite communication: Lunar campsites can use satellite communication to communicate with the Earth. Placing communication satellites in orbit around the Earth can achieve communication coverage without dead corners and high-speed and stable data transmission.
In the lunar camp I established, I plan to focus on geology and biology as scientific research priorities, and also plan to conduct technical research on robots and sustainable energy. Here are a few experiments I plan to conduct on the moon:
Geological experiments: Conduct geological experiments on the moon, collect samples of the moon, study their composition, structure, and geological history. Collect mineral materials and study their chemical composition and geological process history, analyze the history of the formation and evolution of the lunar surface.
Biological experiments: Microbial experiments are conducted in lunar campsites to study their survival and reproductive abilities on the lunar surface in low weight and enclosed environments, in order to better understand life forms in the universe.
Technical research: In order to solve the problem of resources and energy on the moon, solar energy, renewable energy utilization technology, and water resource recycling technology will be developed in the experiment, and debugged and tested during the experiment.
robotics experiment: use robots to conduct research and exploration on the surface of the moon, and develop robot centered mineral resource mining technology, and how to achieve building and other related research in a low gravity environment.
Conducting research on geology and biology on the moon helps us deepen our understanding of the moon and its history, and lays the foundation for human scientific research on other planets. In addition, the research on technology and robotics will help solve the industrial problems that need to be solved to establish a sustainable lunar base on the moon in the future, and provide important technical support for the future exploration of deep space and the development and utilization of other celestial bodies.
In order to prepare for the astronaut’s lunar landing mission, my astronaut training plan will include the following content:
Education on space environment and health knowledge: Teach astronauts about physiological characteristics, stability adaptation, rhythm management, food intake, and other related knowledge in the space environment. At the same time, it is necessary to teach relevant knowledge on how to provide first aid in emergency situations and respond to space diseases.
Science and Technology Training: Train astronauts on the relevant scientific and technical knowledge required for space missions. For example, astronauts need to understand the composition and physical parameters of the solar system, the use and maintenance of instruments, and a manual of all equipment used by astronauts. Astronauts need to understand astronomical terminology related to the moon, physical properties related to lunar temperature, and other necessary information.
Track simulation and practical operation training: Simulate various possible emergency situations and provide training, such as fault maintenance, oxygen tank flow adjustment, and other skill training.
Team cooperation and interpersonal relationship training: Train astronauts’ teamwork spirit and interpersonal communication and coordination skills to ensure their safety and stability in the space environment.
Physical exercise and mental adjustment: Assist astronauts in making nutrition and drinking plans, and guide them in daily physical exercise and psychological adjustment.
Through these trainings, astronauts will be able to prepare to face various challenges and challenges brought about by the space environment and missions, ensuring the smooth completion of the lunar landing mission.
For future lunar missions, a probe or vehicle that can move freely on the lunar surface and has sufficient path planning and obstacle avoidance capabilities is needed. The spacecraft should be able to carry astronauts and load the necessary equipment and instruments, while also having sufficient durability and adaptability to carry out long-term missions on the lunar surface.
In lunar campsites, we may use various forms of transportation. For example, we may use a lunar rover to explore and move the surface of the moon. The lunar rover needs to be able to withstand harsh environments such as high temperature differences and abnormal dust on the lunar surface, and must have sufficient power and communication equipment.
If we want to travel back and forth to Earth, we need a spacecraft with sufficient propulsion and manned capabilities. The spacecraft not only needs to be able to fully tolerate long space travel, but also has sufficient stability to ensure the safety and health of astronauts. We may consider using rockets or solar electric power to drive spacecraft to achieve return to Earth and explore other destinations.
After reaching the surface of the moon and establishing a lunar base, we can start exploring other destinations on the surface of the moon. For example, we may study the colder surface environment of the South Pole region of the moon, or investigate rock structures, craters, cave systems, etc. on the moon. To achieve this, our detectors or vehicles need to have sufficient flexibility and shock absorption performance to adapt to various terrain and environmental conditions.
In summary, future lunar missions require a series of high-end technology spacecraft, probes, or vehicles to help us smoothly travel to the moon, explore its surface, and discover and solve various complex problems that may arise.
