Where is the Erchius mining facility?

I have the quest to go to the Erchius mining facility to check out a distress signal. I did the logical thing and went to the only moon in the current system (since that is the only area i can travel too), and there was nothing there. When I landed, I marked where I was and walked around the whole planet without finding any sort of structure.
Is it underground perhaps? I can mark the quest as current, will that give me any markers to indicate where to find it?
