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
