Landing Sites

The two landing sites are very recent developments on Mars of the late 19th century, being the sites where the two space cannon projectiles landed on the planet.

The first bullet from 1893 slammed down on the southern hemisphere at 28°S, 153°W, south of the abandoned city of Olympus. At the start of Martian Dreams, the second capsule from 1895 landed to the west of the first site (28°S, 146°E), with the Avatar and the rescue party on board.

When the Avatar finally reached the 1893 landing site, it was abandoned, with only Lt. Dibbs waiting to explain what happened, before joining the party himself.
