In Greek mythology, Soteria was the goddess of safety, salvation, deliverance, and preservation from harm.
Max-Q Aerospace is planning to create a system of colonies and space stations on Luna.
This program is designed as a stepping stone for future exploration in order to ensure the safety and salvation of the human race.

Specifics

One 50 person colony on the north pole.
One 100 person colony at the equator.
One 100 person colony 45 degrees from the equator.
Two space stations, one in polar orbit and the other in equatorial low moon orbit.


Phase II

Step 1: Finalize designs of the LEC and Nova 6 human launch system, and construct and test, flight and abort systems. - Done

Step 2: Test launch the Soteria Powerhouse rocket Deliverance with the Salvation capsule on an unmanned test flight to and from Luna - Done (Success)

Step 3: Launch Soteria 1 to orbit humans around Luna for the first time and then Soteria II, III, and IV to land at each colony sight for a final check of habitability. - Soteria I Soteria II Soteria III

Step 4: After finalizing the designs for the 6 person single launch Stations 1 & 2. Launch the station on a cargo variant, Nova 6 (in development).

Step 5: After finalizing designs for the two, 10 person outpost, launch them aboard a Nova 6 cargo variant and the various other parts (Solar farm, coms, etc.) on a Nova 2 Extended (in Development)

Step 6: Design and test the Max-Q Soteria lander Arrival in preparation for Sotera V - VIII

Step 7: Soteria V, VI, VII, and VIII will crew all the stations and outposts.

The success of Phase 2 will solidify a human presence on Luna and further enable human settlement of the three 100 person colonies.
