Story
The radars have detected incoming signals that could potentially lead to active life forms on Mars. There's only a tiny problem: the signals seems to be emitted from a series of martian caverns, and you will have to improve your system so that the spaceship can land inside a cavern and unload the mars rover. Good luck, commander.
This hard puzzle is the third in a series of three exercises proposed during the "Mars Lander" past contest. If you have troubles solving this puzzle, feel free to start with the two previous levels, « Mars Lander - Episode 1 » and « Mars Lander - Episode 2 » on the same topic but with an decreased difficulty!
