The first stages of the lunar base construction would be uncrewed. Exploring rovers will be sent with the first landing on the moon to explore the site and search for the optimal location to build the base. After that, rovers will start placing the power system near the site. Then rovers will level and sinter the plot area, and excavate as needed to place the habitat and greenhouse modules. At the beginning of the settlement, one habitat module and one greenhouse would be deployed and assembled. After the launcher lands, the modules would be transferred to the site, unfolded, and placed as planned. After the life support systems are validated, the temporary crew would stay at the base. As the continues to expand, other habitat and greenhouse modules will be added and functions would be distributed. The base would then be able to fully recycle waste, use full power, and provide the food required for the long-term crew of 6 that would inhabit the lunar base.
