There are two proposed sites for a future moon base that utilises cometry ice found in permanently dark crater basins to act as a water source for continued settlement, Shakleton crater near the Luna south pole and Peary crater near the Luna north pole.
I chose Peary crater so to leave Shakleton crater free for a better developer than me, and also the Shakleton crater site never gets light enough for you to see the structures that I’ve built.
This add-on consists of two bases, one of which is the expansion of the previous one.
Phase 1 consists of four pre-deployed Landers with inflatable habitats on top, and one service Lander. Actually the phase 1 base is more phase1.5 as there are some inflatable warehouse and service buildings already connected to the base.
Phase 2 is the almost fully deployed base; you may notice some points around the base for future expansion. There are six pads, 4 landing and 2 launch pads for sounding rockets. Chad Overton’s model rockets work well here.

The two phase 1 and phase 2 folders are only there two keep the two versions of the base seperate, otherwise maintain Orbiter file structure as found inside these folders.

Install phase 1 first, as it contains all the necessary files for both phases.
Then install phase 2 after if you want the larger base.
There is also a version of my DunOrbitin base using the Peary base textures in with the phase 2 base folder as a bit of an extra.

Thanks again to Bill Mullins for his Satdish2 and Geodome meshes and José Pablo Luna Sánchez for his indispensable Surface Base Wizard, which made the whole thing possible.

Review by xantcha
Pros: Very detailed and beautifull
Cons: 2 phases of the same base
Review:
Finally, an exciting moonbase to land on! Documentation is very nice too. But two pfases just don't work for me.. It is an interesting idea, but in Orbiter it's tough to realize it elegantly. Two different bases (established and new one) could be better.

Misspelling

Thanks for building Peary Base! It's the most logical place to build a moon base. One small thing though...you misspelled Peary inside your addon as Preary. If there is an easy fix for this that I can do in .cfg files or whatever let me know when you get a chance. Believe me I can live with it the way it is.
