3.1 – How will your Moon Camp provide astronauts with sustainable access to basic needs like water, food, air and power?
Water: Water resources are provided by solid water in the polar permanent night area, and they are recycled for wastewater resources. Water acquisition by hot mining.
Food: In terms of food, we use soilless cultivation and space breeding to cultivate common crops (such as soybean, rhizobia with nitrogen fixation) and crops suitable for the lunar environment to meet life needs. Using synthetic glucose technology to create convenient and fast food.
Power: A solar zone was built outside the base to provide sufficient solar power. We also consider the use of large amounts of polar lunar ice, which may contain large amounts of methane ice, solid ammonia, and heavy water in addition to water. The carbon in methane will be used by food factories to make food. The nitrogen in ammonia is used to make amino acids and proteins in food. The melted water began to electrolysis. There are 3 kinds of electrolytic products, hydrogen, oxygen, heavy water. Hydrogen is used to make steel, and the iron produced by reducing iron ore with hydrogen is also of good quality, with almost no carbon impurities. The byproduct of reducing iron ore with hydrogen is water. The water can be drunk or returned to the cell for further electrolysis. Some of the electrolytic oxygen is sent into the ventilation system for human breathing, while the other part is cold east into“Oxygen ice”, open storage.
Air: We get oxygen through the electrolysis of water, moon ice and metal oxides, as well as the air circulation of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
3.2 – How will your Moon Camp deal with the waste produced by the astronauts on the Moon?
For kitchen waste water and urine and other waste can be through the water recycling system for further purification treatment, repeated use. Manure is produced by composting and other methods to provide nutrients for organic fertilizer for growing greenery. Carbon Dioxide and other substances through the air cycle and the photosynthesis of green plants to generate oxygen, industrial waste for many useless after disposal.
3.3 – How will your Moon Camp maintain communications with Earth and other Moon bases?
With radar, we can pick up signals from other lunar bases and transmit information from space stations and satellites between the Earth and the Moon. It is also possible to drive the lunar rover directly for material exchange between the camps.
