South Pole Lunar Outpost: HAVEN's Vision for Permanent Moon Settlement

HAVEN is a lunar arrival port and long-term habitat located on a ridge between Shackleton and De Gerlache craters at the Lunar South Pole. The lunar port and base is designed as the initial location for arriving crew before they move on to resource outposts or other habitats.

This video covers the lunar base design, construction sequence, mission milestones and some thoughts.
