Haller Base, officially the Haller Base–Lunar Research Station (Hesurian: Haller-Basis Lunare Forschungsstation), is a Mascyllary research station on the sloped rim of the Jenssen E crater in the Soguichi Plateau, on the surface of Luna, the second planet of the world's binary planet system. It was operated under the Lunar Exploration Initiative (MLEI) jointly of the MAOA and Air Force from 1987 to 2009 and is considered to be the furthermost point of Mascyllary jurisdiction and only one on Luna. The base is named in honour of rocketry pioneer and polar explorer Emil Haller who was a significant contributor to the foundation of the MAOA and its early human spaceflight projects. Haller Base is the first modular planetary station and first large man-made structure on Luna, and was assembled by over multiple subsequent manned missions from 1987 to 1999.
