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.

even more on the basis of it, to form a lunar city that is fully
routinized and normalized.
In the early stage, we will build an integrated scientific research base, and in the medium term, we can use interface design to expand the scale of the base and greatly utilize resources. In the later stage, the moon city can be built on the base.

and production, and also added interfaces here, using space station
integration technology to link camps. In the later lunar city, the
rover can also be used as a mode of transportation.
We plan to use the moon as a transit point for exploring the
universe. The moon is not only rich in helium-3, a clean source of
energy and something not available on Earth, but also a chance for
humans to learn how to live in space.

Water（水）：
The craters at the moon’s poles contain a lot of water ice. By
using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to explore the
moon’s surface and deep water ice, the water ice can be obtained by collecting transport trucks and large laser launchers, and the
water needed for work and living in the camp can be obtained by filtration and disinfection
Food（食物）：
Setting up a planting base at the campsite would allow control of the micro-ecosystem environment by introducing sunlight from the
moon’s surface into the form of light pipes. Using homemade fertilizer and human feces to modify lunar soil. In order to obtain
edible plants with high protein
Power（能源）：
Set up solar power generation device, make maximum use of light energy to generate electricity through solar panel light adaptive technology, and convert electric energy into microwave and transmit it to the receiving station. In case of emergency, the moon has a lot
of helium-3 material, so we can build nuclear fusion devices and use helium-3 for secondary energy supply
Air（空气）：
Hydrogen and oxygen are produced by electrolysis of water, the
reduction of hydrogen is used to replace the metal elements in
the oxide on the moon to obtain water and metal, and then the water is electrolyzed to produce oxygen. In this way, the oxygen
production efficiency is improved. To simulate the Earth’s atmosphere by carrying compressed nitrogen and rare gases
Recycling and reuse: Much of the waste generated by astronauts on the moon can be recycled and reused. For example,
waste water and urine could be treated into fertilizer for plants to grow, and waste oxygen and compressed air could
be reused, reducing the need for earth supplies on the moon.
Compression and storage: Since fuel and other resources are precious and difficult to access, lunar camps need to
collect, compress and properly store any waste that cannot
be reused in order to minimize the added load on the spacecraft when it is sent back to Earth.
Rapid decomposition and conversion: Lunar camps can use
thermal decomposition technology to break down organic waste into renewable fuels and separate and reuse plastics and other recyclables. This approach has the advantage of reducing the burden of supplies needed for lunar camps and the need
for recycling on Earth.
We can use satellite communications to link the lunar camp to Earth and other lunar bases. Communications links are established by
placing communications satellites in lunar orbit and sending signals back to Earth via satellites. The main advantage of this scheme is that the signal can be transmitted quickly and has a higher transmission speed and bandwidth.
Exploration on the Moon is likely to focus primarily on the
following areas:
Rock and Soil Analysis: This helps to understand the Moon’s
composition and evolutionary history, as well as assists in geologicaland mineral exploration.
Life experiments in low-gravity environments: Understanding the
performance, risks, and opportunities of life systems in low-gravity
conditions may help provide better safeguards and more innovation for spacecraft and astronauts.
Water Resources on the Moon: Study water resources on the surface and deep in the Moon to make the Moon self-sufficient and less
dependent on Earth.
Get up in the morning, have breakfast, check all the facilities and bases in the camp, start the day’s work, moon exploration, energy conversion, etc.and have a simple lunch break after lunch. Carry
out the afternoon work, maintain and overhaul the equipment for
providing living materials such as air production, food sources, and have entertainment and fitness at dinner time. Use the duty system
At night to monitor the surrounding environment.
For future missions to the moon, we need some advanced
spacecraft,
Lander: Used to land and take off on the moon, as well as transport cargo to the moon.
Lunar Rover: Used to drive on the surface of the moon so that astronauts could get to their destinations faster.
Lunar helicopter: Used for scientific exploration and mineral exploration over the lunar surface.
Lunar satellite: Used to monitor the environment and climate of the moon.
For travel on the moon, we can use the lunar rover to access various terrains and the lunar helicopter for aerial exploration. To get back to Earth, we can use Apollo-style vehicles to haul astronauts and cargo back to Earth, or simply carry resources such as metal oxides to orbiting sites where they can be transported back to Earth using more advanced spacecraft.
