1.1 – Project Description

,,the moon in the green” will start an exciting project to establish a moon camp on the south side of the moon, on the Lunar craters. Our first main goal is to be able to grow greenery in the moon. The project will be cognitive in nature. Astronauts in the camp will first thoroughly analyze how greening will be possible, As a result of the analysis, they will have a conclusion according to which they will start developing a plan.

We will also be studying the moon’s atmospheric and land structure because the Moon is considered to be surrounded by a vacuum, We already know that maintaining air will be difficult, so we plan to make a system for this vacuum, The system has to show us how justified it is to maintain the atmosphere so that we can grow green, as plants need oxygen to grow and develop. If we can maintain the atmosphere in the moon, it turns out that we will be one step closer to our goal.  

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).

Our main goal is to find out if it is possible to have a greenhouse on the moon. This will be very interesting because people will be able to produce outside of the earth. Our focus will be to conduct in-depth research on the moon’s geology and soils, to better understand its composition and depth. This experıment will help us gain a better analysis of the moon’s geological formatıon.

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

Copernicus is visible through binoculars and is located slightly northwest of the center of the Moon’s Earthward hemisphere. To the south of the crater is Mare Insularum, and to the south-southwest is the crater Reinhold. We want to set up our moon camp on the southern crater, as water is easily found on this part.

We will have special tools to get water easily on this crate

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.

Parts of our lunar camp will be prepared on Earth, which will be semi-inflatable, automatically inflated upon landing on the moon. This will help make the camp easier and more promising. We will reduce the amount of materials needed to send the camp from Earth to the Moon, and after inflating the semi-inflatable parts, we will use the lunar resource Regulate as cement.

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

Scientists have long been looking for a way to protect people from moon dust, but I thınk Its essence is quite simple – since the dust particles are electronically charged, the researchers have created a device that also emits charges. Testing has shown that using a kind of “vacuum cleaner” in a few minutes, you can clean dust-contaminated surfaces by as much as 85%. The technology is applicable to glass, fabrics and other materials. The result, of course, is not ideal, but the developers are clearly not going to abandon the project and in the future the device will be able to work even better.

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

Water 

We will need a water extraction vehicle to find frozen waters and water in the regolithes

Attached by a Velcro strip to the inside of the helmet neck ring of a lunar spacesuit, an astronaut could dip his head down to drink water or reconstituted juice through the small rubber straw.

Food 

We will start entrepreneurship in the camp, we will produce our own products  Which we produce in the greenhouse.

Before we get our own harvest, we will take ready-made food from the Earth .

 Power 

We will use solar panels for the electricity the camp needs, we will try to use  helium-3 energy and the lunar is rich with helium-3.

Air

Camp will provide astronauts with air by developing a system that can maintain the atmosphere on the Moon. This system will be designed to show how  it is possible. Since the Moon is considered to be surrounded by a vacuum, maintaining air will be a significant challenge. However, through the development of a specialized system, the camp will overcome this problem and create an environment in which astronauts can breathe and grow plants sustainably.

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

We will put the household waste in some device that will be resistant to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The moon is not insulated by the ozone layer, so leaving the waste outside is a big danger. We can’t bury the waste in the ground because the temperature of the moon can promote the spread of microbes

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

We are thinking of communicating with rovers and satellites and we will invent a new camera to connect to the earth.. everything the camera takes will pass on earth, they will be twin cameras, one on earth and the other on the moon.

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.).

We will start entrepreneurship in the camp, we will produce our own products and thus we will be able to stay there longer and we want to create a green square, which we will later turn into a source of oxygen. We want to create green covers on the moon. The focus of our research is precisely the creation of a green cover on the Moon. For this, we will create a water extraction device on the moon, which will extract water from the frozen waters and water in the lunar soil  and collect the water by evaporation method, and this device will have a special compartment where it will collect the steam. And we will better study the land of the moon. We will travel to different lunar craters with a rover powered by solar panels

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

I would continue a similar program, such as the international preparatory program, but we would strengthen adaptation to environmental conditions. We would start changing their diet slowly, rather than directly, before they left earth, and we would develop a new anti-sleep plan called the Leonardo Da Vinci Method. After every 25 minutes of sleep, they are awake for 1 hour.

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.

 We will need a water extraction vehicle to find frozen waters and water in the regulites, and we will also need a device to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, which we will need on the way to Earth, and this will also allow us to travel to other planets if we will have fuel on the moon or another option is helium-3, helium-3 is a clean fuel and releases large amounts of energy. We will also use the Moon’s gravity to travel to Earth.

Exploring new directions on the surface of the moon means better exploration of the moon, and for this, we will need rovers.
