People would arrive one at a time after much of the base was configured

Why not do it like a space station?
Land some mining equipment first, no fancy autonomous stuff.
Then take a big lander, shoot it up there and call it "station". Then
you can have people on the ground from day one to supervise or take part
in the (semi) automatic build of a shielded underground station.

Lots of Greetings!
