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.
