In Moon Camp Pioneers, each team’s mission is to 3D design a complete Moon Camp using the software of their choice. They also have to explain how they will use local resources, protect astronauts from the dangers of space and describe the living and working facilities in their Moon Camp.

Our base is called CamUnion, which means to fight for the moon, which is closer to the Earth, and the lunar base can be the closest space base to us, which is convenient for us to carry out other more distant space missions.
In the future, the moon will become a launch station for human space exploration missions. The main purpose of our base is scientific research, exploration and mining of the resources of the moon, such as the extraction of water resources in lunar rocks, the acquisition of oxygen and how to grow food on the moon, etc., our moon, not only illuminates the night, but also illuminates the future survival of mankind, helping human beings continue to prosper and develop on other unexplored planets in the solar system.
Our base is divided into several cabins, including living areas and work areas, which include several different aspects of research, so that astronauts on the moon have a clear division of labor and can complete their tasks efficiently.
For the internal structure, we will make it technological, intelligent and automated, so as to facilitate the life of astronauts on the moon base as much as possible and help them better adapt to space work.
The main purpose of our base is scientific research, exploration and mining of the resources of the moon, such as the extraction of water resources from lunar rocks, the acquisition of oxygen and how to grow food on the moon.
We are ready to establish a base in a crater near the south pole of the moon, because solar energy is the easiest to obtain near the moon pole, solar energy can be used to obtain energy, and at the same time it is convenient to transmit signals with the earth, and there is a long light cycle, which can ensure the operation of our lunar base, in addition, there are rich mineral resources for us to develop and use, so it is very suitable for building a lunar base.
Firstly, we will transport giant 3D printers, robots, and radiation resistant dome structures to the moon. After finding a suitable location, we will make reasonable modifications to it to provide favorable conditions for future printing, such as trimming the uneven lunar surface. Afterwards, the robot will deploy the inflatable film brought from Earth, and then cover the film with geopolymer concrete with extreme environmental resistance to protect it. In addition, in terms of the dome structure, we also use barium silicate glass with excellent radiation resistance, which can allow astronauts to observe cosmic phenomena. Secondly, we will transport various equipment to the moon to maintain the operation of the base, in order to form a comprehensive controlled ecological life support system. Finally, astronauts will land on the moon and begin their lunar life.
The dangerous environment on the moon is roughly divided into the following types: radiation, temperature difference, meteorite;
For radiation: we use radiation-proof building materials, in addition to adding a protective cover throughout the exterior of the site to protect against radiation;
For temperature differences: we will use thermostatic technology to ensure that astronauts are in a comfortable ambient temperature;
For meteorites: Because the base is selected in a crater near the South Pole, the probability of meteorites falling is greatly reduced, and we will constantly monitor the base to ensure the safety of the base.
Because the solar wind that illuminates the moon can break the chemical bonds between silicon, iron, and oxygen atoms in the lunar soil, so that oxygen atoms have unsaturated bonds to connect with hydrogen atoms, which indicates that every rock on the moon can be used to make water, so we will use the solar wind to make water, first our mining robots will collect rocks on the surface of the moon, and then transport them to the cabin of the machine, through a series of machine operations to obtain water resources from rocks.(94)
Food：
In the early days, astronauts will eat food brought from the earth, and when the food in the growing area is ripe, the astronauts will eat the food in the growing area, and grow vegetables and fruits in it.
Power：
Since the base is located on the moon with a long light period, we will use fuel cells to provide heat and electricity to the base during lunar nights.
Air：
We will use the melt electrolysis method to produce oxygen, which is to heat the lunar soil or rock to melt, and then electrolyze, oxygen can be released from the melt in the form of bubbles.
The base has a garbage disposal area. We will classify the garbage generated by astronauts and dispose of it in different trash cans according to their type. The garbage will be compressed in the trash cans, and the compressed garbage will be transported to the storage module before being sent back to Earth for processing
In space, we rely on satellites in space to form a measurement and control network, like a “space base station”, connecting our lunar campsite and ground station, and establishing a space “heavenly path”. The voice, video, email data, and scientific experimental data between the space station and the ground all pass through this’ heavenly path ‘. On our lunar campsite, wired and wireless network cameras, wired and Bluetooth headphones, mobile phones, and laptops can all serve as network terminals. These terminals connect the collected image and voice data to the Ethernet switch in the campsite through wired or wireless Wi Fi, and transmit them to the ground through a high-speed communication processor and a relay link.
In our lunar campsite, we focus on studying biology, including how to make water, oxygen, and grow food. We will further explore these areas and strive to improve people’s quality of life on the moon, preparing for the next step of expanding human exploration on the moon.
Our training for astronauts mainly includes:
Basic theoretical training：
The first thing astronauts need to train is professional basic theoretical knowledge, commonly including computer science, dynamics, physics, astronomy, and atmosphere. By utilizing relevant training and training, they can lay a solid foundation for future work.
Physical fitness training：
Because astronauts face a very special environment, they need to improve their personal tolerance through various training methods. The content of physical fitness training mainly includes rotating chairs, climbing mountains, and long-distance running.
Overweight endurance training：
Through this training, astronauts can maintain a clear mind at all times, adapt to various complex external environments, and complete tasks on time.
Weightlessness training：
To help astronauts truly overcome the fear caused by weightlessness, and of course, to complete daily walking, eating, and space services under weightlessness conditions.
We will use manned rockets to travel between the Earth and the Moon, and use the new generation of manned spacecraft as the carrier rocket for manned lunar exploration
