		The landing site should be a firm, level (maximum slope of 5 degrees) surface and should be free of all debris and loose objects.
		The helicopter is capable of taking off and landing straight up and down; however, it is preferred and safer to have a clear angle of approach to the landing zone.
		Mark the landing zone by placing weighted orange highway cones in the four corners of the landing zone, or shining the headlights of rescue vehicles into the landing zone in an "X" pattern.

		The new images of the landing zone for the Mars Polar Lander, taken by the camera aboard NASA's Mars Global Surveyor, confirm that this strange, layered terrain in the south polar region represents a dramatic departure from the now-familiar Martian landscapes observed by the Viking landers and Mars Pathfinder.
		Over the next year, the Global Surveyor images will be used in concert with other spacecraft data such as that obtained by the thermal emission spectrometer to better characterize the geology of Martian south pole.
		Deployed before landing, they will penetrate and embed themselves beneath the Martian surface to study subsurface materials.
