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.

Each crisp hall in the Modi building has a di road connection, and each crisp is a wine word. There are all aspects of human life, and there is no human-oriented concept. The camp is mainly composed of a large open-shaped bionic flower building and three semi-opening small bionic flower buildings with different functions.
The lunar camp project is also an innovative project with lunar exploration and colonization as the day. The gas is exploring the origin of the moon, building a long-term settlement, and providing technical and life security for human exploration of the universe. The project involves major fields, such as aerospace, architecture, life sciences, etc. Participants need to have a solid academic background and innovation ability. Through this county, human beings can solve the problem of the shortage of resources on the earth, and can also go deep into the factory and promote scientific and technological progress.
The purpose of our lunar camp is mainly for scientific research, and since ancient times, humans have dreamed too much about the moon. Our exploration of the moon now is not limited to dreams. The moon is rich in energy that we can use. The unique mineral deposits and energy resources on the moon are also important supplements and reserves to the earth’s resources. Astronauts mainly explore the availability of these energy sources, while improving the lunar camp to lay a solid foundation for future “tourism” and “commerce”.
We wanted to build the camp near the Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon for several reasons:
Helium-3 resources are also very rich.
Material: Our outer layer is made of sulfur concrete, which is hard and corrosion-resistant, and can be protected from radiation. For the outer material, the raw material is abundant in the lunar soil. It can play a certain function of heat insulation.
The raw material content is abundant, which is convenient for local materials, reducing the cost of material transportation and damage.
First of all, advanced radars and satellites are used to predict external dangers, prepare for dangers in time, and ensure the safety of the perimeter of the base through robot inspection.
Secondly, we used sulfur concrete to build the outer layer of the base, which is both protective and effective against radiation.
Finally, the automatic adjustment system is used to adjust the indicators in the room to ensure the normal progress of people’s life activities.
Using a tent-like thermal mining water ice extraction method, which conducts sunlight directly to the surface and subsurface layers of the permanent shadow area, induces forced sublimation of groundwater ice, steam is captured in the dome tent, and then drained to a cold trap for condensation collection, the dome tent can provide both greenhouse heating effect and water vapor capture.
Relying on lunar soil to continuously grow high-yield crops to continuously provide food raw materials. It can directly absorb sunlight or directly provide white light to promote growth.
Construction and use of helium-3 isotopes (3He) thermonuclear reactors, soils that are irradiated by the sun for a long time, enriching volatile chemical elements and isotopes directly injected by solar wind particles, including large amounts of 3He.
Using the reduction reaction of lithium perchlorate, the air in the base is converted into oxygen through the reduction plate. Oxygen and hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis of water, oxygen can be breathed by astronauts, and hydrogen can also be used as fuel
Lunar habitats may utilize waste disposal systems similar to those on Earth, such as recycling reusable materials, converting organic waste into fertilizer to support lunar agriculture, and treating toxic substances. Some technologies are still being researched and developed, such as using 3D printing to transform waste into new tools and equipment. In addition, sending waste back to Earth may be a solution, but faces challenges such as high transportation costs and technical difficulties.
The lunar base maintains contact with the earth and other lunar bases by establishing a communication satellite network, setting up ground communication stations, and using laser communication technology. Wireless communication is used to communicate in real-time with the earth, and relay stations are set up on the lunar surface to expand the communication range and coverage area. In addition, in space exploration, stable and reliable signal transmission and reception are ensured through the construction of probes and the setting up of orbiters.
Geology will be a key focus of study: the composition and formation process of the lunar subsurface is a very important research topic. Researchers can collect lunar surface material samples and study the moon’s history and formation process by analyzing its chemical composition and structure.
Planned activities on the moon:
Collect samples from the lunar surface: Use scientific probes and chemical instruments to collect and analyze samples from the lunar surface to study the moon’s composition and formation process.
Test life support systems: Design and test life support systems that can operate on the moon, and study how to provide necessities such as water, food, and oxygen for astronauts.
Design and manufacture building materials: Study the optimum materials and production processes required to manufacture building materials on the moon.
Study preparation processes under low-gravity environments: Study the preparation process of materials under low-gravity environments, and how these environments impact the performance and structure of materials.
Training content:

Simulation training: Help astronauts adapt to space life and improve their ability to handle various tasks through simulating space environment and tasks.
Extravehicular Activities: Learn the operation and safety regulations of extravehicular activities, including spacewalking, space missions, etc.
Future lunar missions require a durable and efficient spacecraft capable of carrying large amounts of cargo and personnel, and conducting exploration and scientific experiments on the moon’s surface. This spacecraft should be reusable to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
In the lunar base, there are many large vehicles that can travel on the moon’s surface to transport personnel and cargo. These vehicles can be modified into scientific laboratories or mobile living quarters for long-term stays on the moon’s surface.
To travel between Earth and the moon, future spacecraft require sustainable energy supplies and highly automated technology to ensure safe and reliable navigation. Additionally, this spacecraft should have the ability for rapid deployment and assembly so that it can depart quickly when needed.
