Space exploration will continue to advance our civilization in the future to come. With the aspirations of achieving a long-term sustainable environment in space, certain milestones must come first. This report proposes a mission design for the construction of a Lunar Base that will serve as an outpost for the objective of mining helium-3. To ensure a successful mission, we incorporate a relay shuttle system to serve as a mid-point between the Earth and the Moon.
