Check the mission hints in-game by clicking the flashing light bulb icon near the bottom left of the screen. Also, see the general tips section of this site for hints and strategies that apply to all missions.

Walkthrough:

Buy and place 3 warehouses to meet goal #2. Warehouses must be placed adjacent to existing warehouses and on flat, open ground. You may need to delete lights or other objects if they're in the way. To delete an object, click the $ icon near the bottom left of the screen, then click the object you want to sell.

Place an iron extractor near the iron ore deposits north of the base. Assign Stig to work here, since he has the most skill in mining. Stockpile 10 units of iron to meet goal #1.

Other tips: Venus can also mine iron if you place another iron extractor for her to use; however, if you keep Stig happy, he should have no trouble getting the work done by himself. It also helps to place another space bike post near the iron extractor to help Stig get back and forth quickly.

Medi bays are now available. Place one in your base and then assign Dean to work the medi prep station (the desk on the left side of the bridge). A countdown clock above the medi bay shows when it will be ready. When he has finished prepping the bay, colonists can use it to restore lost health (e.g., due to mutant bee stings). Medi bays need to be prepped before each use.

I was able to complete this mission quickly by switching Dean back and forth between medi prep, weeding and power duty; Venus between power and nutrient extraction; and Tami between cleaning and oxygen. Candy, unfortunately, can only clean.
