Abstract
To establish, in a small lunar crater, a permanent domed oasis which optimizes human factors, a satellite first performs global mapping prior to site selection. It will transfer to lunar-stationary orbit transmitting power to the base via laser beam to drive equipment and illumine the long lunar night. Tele-robotic operations minimize risk during heavy construction prior to occupancy. Habitats within the crater wall provide an elevated outlook towards the interior ground plane. Plant growth trials are conducted prior to the introduction of other life forms.
