scientific outpost
Remote research base
A scientific outpost is a remote research facility established in an isolated or extreme environment—Antarctica, the deep ocean, outer space.
The term emphasizes distance from civilization and the challenges of maintaining a presence there: The scientific outpost on Mars was staffed by a rotating crew of twelve.
Outposts are typically smaller and more temporary than full research stations.
