The count for rescuing an explorer is when you drop them back off at the base not when you pick them up.
This achievement can be quickly gotten with save reloading. During campaign play through or sandbox get one or two or more explorers on your exploring ship(s) and then bring the ship(s) right next to the base without returning yet. Save the game and then return the ship(s). Wait about 15 seconds after landing and reload. You can also use the achievement tracker overlay or look at the achievement in the main guide. Just reload until you get it.

Just a heads up, the only things that count for this are the icons on the world map that look like medical crosses and are labelled as lost explorers. If you do any other activity, such as identifying a distress beacon and a message pops up on the right saying you have rescued someone, this does NOT seem to count.

In order to unlock this, you have to send out an Expedition to retrieve Stranded Explorers AND come back to the Colony. The ship MUST come back to the Colony.
When you pick up a Stranded Explorer, on the Expedition Map, if you pull up your Ship Status menus and select them, it will indicate the number of Passengers and Cargo. If you have a Passenger on board, you have not completed the rescue and MUST return to the Colony to drop off your load.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING TO DO THIS WHILE YOU'RE PROGRESSING THROUGH THE CAMPAIGN! YOU'LL UNLOCK THIS BEFORE FINISHING THE FINAL MAP OR SHORTLY AFTERWARDS!

If you beat the game and you haven't gotten this than... I got bad news for you... you have to do Sandbox mode a couple of times to get it. It takes roughly about 30 minutes to do a round.
I found the easiest way to do this was to do Sandbox mode using the Map: Sandy Gulch with resources turned on high.
Build towards a partially sustainable Colony, meaning you can't just rush your way to Expedition Centers.
I recommend having enough people and resources to support 4 Expedition Centers. It's more than enough to explore the map, hit a few points and come back.

I've tried to make a save file where there were 3 Stranded Explorers, rescue them, save to another file and reload. It definitely did not work. Just an FYI.

Lost explorers on the expedition map appear as (+) nodes when discovered. There are barely enough lost explorers across all campaign missions to achieve this normally. The best method is to uncover 3-4 explorers then make a save, rescue them then reload - rinse and repeat but do note that the trophy won't pop until your ships have returned to base and unloaded the rescued explorers.

During expeditions there will be points for rescuing people. If you do not neglect expeditions when completing the campaign, then you will have no problems doing it as it progresses. Otherwise, you will have to go through missions again, actively exploring everything on expeditions.

You need to not only complete a rescue mission on the expedition map, but also return the ship with the rescued person to the base.
