This is the second version of an expandable rover and a reloadable surface lander that can allow you to land a rover, explore, and return to the inside of the lander (without docking) for the next mission, return home, etc. I'd recommend practicing loading/unloading/etc a few times before starting your mission as the sequence seems kinda complicated until you've done it once or twice. There is already an engine with lots of fuel in the lander but you can add interstages/engines/etc to the bottom of the lander if you want. Pictures show the expanded rover and then the boxed-rover being loaded into the lander.

Sequence to load rover:
1. AG8 to deploy landing gear
2. AG1 + slider 1 up to open hatch
3. AG2 + slider 1 up to lower floor
4. Use [ to switch control to rover
5. AG4 + Slider 1 up to lower wheels
6. Slider 2 to 5% briefly, coast onto floor
7. Use B to brake on floor
8. Slider 1 to middle to raise wheels
9. [ to switch back to lander (hit [ twice)
10. MAKE SURE AG1 IS TURNED OFF
11. AG2 + Slider 1 up to raise floor/rover
12. After rover lifted into lander, AG1 + slider 1 up to close hatch
13. Liftoff!

Rover controls:
AG1, AG2, AG3, + Slider 1 up to expand
AG4 + Slider 1 to lower wheels
Slider 2 up/down to move forward/back
A/D to turn L/R, B to brake

Lander controls:
AG8 to deploy/retract landing gear
