I hope it works out as well as the one with the two rovers that seemed to function forever.

The landing technique for this craft has never been tried on M-A-R-S before.
In a nutshell, the craft descends toward the surface, fires rockets, hovers in place, and lowers to the ground what is essentially a mini-cooper on a rope.
