1.1 – Project Description

This camp on the moon will be the pioneer of mankind in opening up a new world. In this immense camp, astronauts will experience life on the moon and prepare for future migration. The camp contains various installations for human life and satisfies the greatest number of life needs.

1.2 – Why do you want to build a Moon Camp? Explain the main purpose of your Moon Camp (for example scientific, commercial and/or touristic purposes).

The main purpose of our lunar camps is to be used for scientific research. The purpose of building a moon camp has started to live in scientific research for a long time. Scientific research on local materials of the moon on the lunar camps, extracting local materials for the moon, such as whether the moon soil contains human beings Useful substances to create the possibility of finding a long -term residence of human beings, so the main purpose of our lunar camp is based on scientific research and a long -term residence supplemented by a purpose.

2.1 – Where do you want to build your Moon Camp? Explain your choice.

The lunar camp is on the lunar part of the Moon. The terrain is relatively flat and it is easier to build a moon camp. Moreover, the lunar sea is the part facing the earth, which can better receive some information and data uploaded from the earth.

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.

We want to build a large body on the outer surface of the moon, and then basically cover all the work and life needs, and underground tunnels will be built below the surface. We will use 3D printing technology, self-loading, this origami carbon fiber and mining the Moon’s own mineral fusion build. Some of the materials used will be transported from the earth, such as the paper used for printing materials, some of the wood needed for construction, and textile articles, there are also some food supplies for the first arrival on the moon, and most of them will be taken on the moon, such as iron, steel and aluminum alloy needed for the external construction of the base

2.3 – How does your Moon Camp protect and provide shelter to your astronauts against the Moon’s harsh environment?

There is a lifting column. In order to prevent some huge natural disasters similar to asteroid impacts, we will activate the switch when we detect danger signals, so that the entire moon camp can be retracted under the moon to achieve a protective purpose.

3.1 – How will your Moon Camp provide astronauts with sustainable access to basic needs like water, food, air and power?

Food:

Cotton, potatoes, Arabidopsis, yeast, fruit flies, and rape are six organisms that thrive on the back of the moon, provided, of course, that they use nutrient solutions and soil developed by scientists”

Currently, in order to grow vegetables in the lunar soil, it needs to be improved by adding organic matter such as human and livestock manure or decomposed organic matter from animals and plants, as well as an appropriate amount of water, so that vegetables can basically be grown.

Power:

The optoelectronic effect of semiconductor silicon and other materials is used to form a solar device on the surface of the moon to turn the solar energy into electrical energy to supply power, and use nuclear agglomeration as a spare power supply emergency.

Air:

The closure of the oxygen cycle circuit of the regenerative life protection system through electrolytic oxygen technology will be composed of electrolytic oxygen. The oxygen supply of electrolyte supplys astronauts to breathe, and the principle of hydrogen returns to the carbon dioxide reduction system for basic supply of the base personnel.

Water:

The underground tunnel of the camp will return to the moon to the polar ice layer every day to use the spiral drilling utensils that are completely harmless to the ecological environment. When drilling in the ice layer, in order to ensure the normal cycle of the washing medium, the snow layer must be isolated with a sleeve. The ice layer is mainly used to collect water for the daily necessities of people with heat (electric heating or steam) or mechanical (impact or rotation). And in order to save water resources, it will collect evaporated water from the air for recycling for daily life

3.2 – How will your Moon Camp deal with the waste produced by the astronauts on the Moon?

The first choice of our first choice will be used to decompose microorganisms. The decomposition products include water and carbon dioxide. Water will be cleaned through the water purification system so that humans can drink normally, and carbon dioxide will be discharged into the planting area for photosynthesis. We The second choice is to use a device, to separate the water and other substances by separating the flow of traffic, and then to achieve circulating use of waste and other substances

3.3 – How will your Moon Camp maintain communications with Earth and other Moon bases?

We will provide power for the communication devices through a solar panel array on the lunar surface, and plan to launch a set of communication satellites into lunar orbit to achieve seamless communication around the clock. In addition, we will set up a communication monitoring and alarm system in the lunar base to ensure the safety of communication facilities and guarantee smooth communication.

4.1 – What scientific topic(s) would be the focus of the research in your Moon Camp? Explain which experiments you plan to do on the Moon (for example in the topics of geology, low gravity environment, biology, technology, robotics, astronomy etc.).

In my lunar camp, biology and geological society are the focus of research. We intend to conduct biological experiments on it to cultivate plants (including wheat, corn, oats, soybeans, tomatoes, radish, cabbage, beets, etc.) that can grow and grow on it, so that the moon agriculture and the moon agriculture and the moon can be established in the future. The breeding base guarantees the food source of people in the moon. And there will also be plasmid construction experiments, including gene cloning, gene editing, plasmid transmission, molecular diagnosis and other molecular biology research, which can discover new treatment methods or industrial applications from it. Performing biology experiments on the moon can provide a unique environment to test how the life body adapts to the production of low temperature, radiation and low gravity. In addition, we also intend to conduct geological experiments on it. Astronauts can directly collect material samples such as stones and dirt on the moon for research, and find resources, ore and other resources that can be used by humans for use. The moon shows that various observation instruments and detection equipment are installed on the moon, such as seismic, thermometer, and gas pressure meter to detect changes in the moon environment and collect related data.

5.1 – What would you include in your astronaut training programme, to help prepare the astronauts for a Moon mission?

Physical and theory: During one and a half years of training, their astronauts ride 1,000 kilometers, skiing 3,000 kilometers, and running for more than 200 kilometers. In order to prepare for a flight, Tiansheng also needs to master a lot of theoretical knowledge. These theoretical knowledge include basic aerospace knowledge, flight tasks and spacecraft structures, aerospace medical engineering knowledge, and related knowledge about space knowledge and applications.

Psychological preparation: strong psychological stability. Due to the increase in the complexity of the execution task, several members of each flight were completed. As soon as possible, the “heart and spiritual rhinoceros” among members have become an important part of psychological training. Practice has proved that the training of the entire member group together has a very important role in improving their efficiency of working in space.

Special environment: Improving the adaptability and tolerance of aerospace officers to special environmental factors, and the exposure and stimulus of aerospace officers need to be exposed and stimulated by aerospace officers, such as overweight, weight loss, stimulation of vestibular organs, noise, high and low temperature, etc.

5.2 – What space vehicles will your future Moon mission need? Describe the vehicles found in your Moon camp and consider how you will travel to and from Earth, and explore new destinations on the Moon’s surface.

I am planning to design a spider lunar rover with a circular body design. The rover will be made of anti-radiation and anti-impact materials, with strong wind and damage resistance. It will also be composed of carbon fiber and aluminum alloy to reduce weight. The main source of power will be solar panels, which will charge the rover’s body using solar energy. In addition, it will also be equipped with some hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells for emergency use. Based on the four legs of a spider, the rover will be able to walk on rough terrain and explore areas that ordinary lunar rovers cannot reach, enabling it to climb some more complex terrains.
