3.1 – How will your Moon Camp provide astronauts with sustainable access to basic needs like water, food, air and power?
Water:We use the mirror reflection principle to transfer the solar energy to the permanent shadow pit, and the moon ice will be melted, and the melted moon ice will be collected, or a series of single displacement reaction will be carried out on ilmenite to generate water.(47)
Food:The base grows most vegetables to achieve self-sufficiency, while a small portion of the food is supplied by the Earth.(20)
Air:The water is used to generate hydrogen and oxygen using the energy generated by solar panels. (16)
Power:Part of us uses hydrogen to generate a lot of energy, and part of us uses solar panels to generate electricity for our daily needs.(25)
3.2 – How will your Moon Camp deal with the waste produced by the astronauts on the Moon?
The waste generated by the camp mainly comes from the toilet, kitchen and laboratory in the living area. The foreign body discharged from the toilet and the kitchen slag of the restaurant are treated preliminaries for solid-liquid separation. The solid is buried on the spot near the camp, and the liquid is extracted into the waste water tank. The distillate goes into a water purifier and is loaded into a water tank to provide water for the toilet, kitchen and laboratory. The water in the laboratory is used for electrolysis. The resulting wastewater is also separated from the solid and liquid, and then recycled again, and so on, to achieve a stable energy supply and reuse of resources at the camp, minimizing energy loss and minimizing the impact on the lunar environment.(132)
3.3 – How will your Moon Camp maintain communications with Earth and other Moon bases?
There are several ways in which my lunar base will maintain contact with Earth and other moon bases, including:
1.Communication satellites: Placing communication satellites in orbit around the moon and using them to communicate with Earth-based communication stations can achieve real-time communication between the lunar base and Earth, ensuring constant contact.
Space communication network: Establishing a space communication network around the lunar base using satellite communication, laser communication, and other technologies can ensure communication between different moon bases.
3. Transportation vehicles: Transportation vehicles can be used to maintain contact with nearby moon bases.
