There are 16 milestones in Surviving Mars (not to be confused with Achievements). Each Milestone achieved grants 
Research points and score and accessed by the circle-with-a-dot button at the bottom right of the screen.
In Space Race only one colony can achieve a Milestone. Rival Colonies can be delayed from achieving Milestones through Covert Ops.
