1.1 – Project Description

Our plan is divided into two phases. In the first phase, we will use rockets to build robots to reach the South Pole of the lunar surface, and through 3D printing technology, we will use the abundant resources on the moon to build various facilities such as the main control living room, the rest room, and so on. In the second phase, we will use rockets to carry astronauts into and build the completed lunar camp. At the same time, the camp will be equipped with a planting module, which will allow the astronauts to live for a long time. Then the astronauts will explore the types, quantities and locations of resources on the moon by exploring robots and rovers, and do some experiments in the Honeycomb research Institute that need to be done in space. To test whether the oxygen produced by gene-edited ammonia-oxidizing archaea could sustain human life in a biology lab.

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).

We built the moon camp for scientific research. We built the moon camp to provide astronauts with an environment where they could live on the moon for a long time. The astronauts would have enough time to detect the types, content and location of the resources on the moon in preparation for our future development of the moon, and the astronauts could use our laboratory to do some relevant experiments on the moon. To promote our scientific and technological progress.

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

We plan to build our lunar camp on the South Pole of the moon, because where there is abundant water ice, which can be purified to provide a lot of water for our lunar camp, and where there is abundant light, which can provide necessary light for the growth of plants in our planting chamber, and we can use solar energy to generate electricity and save energy.

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.

In the first phase of our robotic lunar camp, we will bring things from Earth that are difficult to make on the moon, such as radiation-proof materials, rubber wheels, electronic equipment, etc., and then we will provide 3D printing technology to build cabin shells using the abundant metal resources on the moon, and coating the outer shell with radiation-proof materials. And then we can 3D print the silicon dioxide in the lunar soil, make the glass that we need, and then we can use the other components in the lunar soil to build different devices.

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

We built the lunar camp in the lava tube at the South Pole of the moon, which can effectively avoid the impact of meteorites and prevent the harm of cosmic radiation. Even here, it can provide a constant temperature. At the same time, we built the shell of the camp with hard metal to prevent the damage of the camp, and then built the shell of the cabin with radiation-proof materials to prevent the radiation. At the same time, we will store spacesuits in the main control room, so that when there is an unexpected power failure in the camp, the astronauts will be in danger. We will also build two power systems, one as a backup power system, to prevent the first system problems, affecting the safety of the camp. At the same time, our camp is equipped with fully automatic medical warehouse, which can carry out physical examination for astronauts every day to ensure their health

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

Water: By extracting and purifying water ice from the moon’s South Pole, and purifying sewage from lunar camps to produce drinking water.

Food: Vegetables, including some protein-rich vegetables, will be grown in the cultivation module. Artificial humans will be printed by 3D printing technology and 3D printers will be used to increase astronaut recipes and improve comfort

Air: Producing oxygen by electrolysis of water, and testing whether genetically programmed ammoxidation archaea can produce enough oxygen for humans to survive

Electricity: The moon’s abundant helium-3 elements are used to generate electricity through helium-3 nuclear generators and solar panels.

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

For recyclable waste, such as paper, plastic and so on, use recycling equipment for recycling, food residue, excrement, use compost to make organic fertilizer, for waste gas we use suction equipment for processing

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

We have radars on the power module and antennas on the main control that we can use to communicate with other lunar camps

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.).

In our lunar camp, biology and chemistry will be the focus of research. We plan to conduct gene programming experiment and gene mutation experiment of ammoxidation archaea in the Honeycomb Research Institute of the lunar camp, to test whether ammoxidation archaea with gene compiler or mutation can produce enough oxygen to sustain human life. At the same time, we will conduct some experiments of planting plants in space. In order to find plants suitable for growing in space, and conduct some chemical experiments to test the difference between the experiment in space and the earth, and use the chemical laboratory to identify various resources on the moon to determine the types of lunar resource reserves

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

Home page should have complete and excellent scientific research ability to do the relevant biological and chemical experiments we want, at the same time should be able to use 3D printers, to print artificial meat, to carry out the maintenance of the camp and the maintenance of the robot moon rover, and to plant and take care of the plants in the planting pod, the ability to endure loneliness, The ability to identify related substances and elements through chemical experiments, and to drive a lunar rover

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.

We need spacecraft that can take our equipment and our robots, and we can go back and forth to the Earth with spacecraft, and explore new destinations on the lunar surface with mobile research vehicles and exploration robots, and our astronauts can drive the research vehicles to explore the lunar surface with two people, or operate the exploration robots in the conch Bionic warehouse in the main control room.
