All expeditions are small stories, with it's own start and end. All achievements from expeditions will be available in all saves on account. So you can play main game, then step aside to play expedition, then return to main game with new achievements.

To start an expedition you need click "Play game" - select empty save slot "New game" - Select "Community expedition"

Notes:
1) Please remember to save game after each achievement by using Save Beacon.
2) This expedition has limited functionality - you will not be able to build bases or claim Settlement until you finish all Phases of Expedition.

Feel free to add comments - I will update this manual accordingly.

I selected Madyge as a closest to next rendezvous point. Here you can mine some Cadmium for future upgrades and Gravitino balls for Phase 2 Mission 4

Mission 5 - Rendezvous 1

All Rendezvous missions are similar - you activate them, and in Galaxy map you will see system you must reach. In this system you will see marker on one of the planets. Fly to the marker, land on the planet and use scaner (press F) in "Target Sweep Mode" to find exact place. You can switch between scaner modes with "1" and "3" keys.
Since it is Community Expedition, instead of landing you can fly around and find a place with a lot of message drones - this might be the point you are looking for.
