This video is an example of a person performing the landing point designation task in the main engine scenario. The vehicle is finishing the pitch up maneuver. Because of the main engine malfunction, the vehicle is farther downrange from its expected landing area. In 20 seconds, the LIDAR scan will appear, along with a warning regarding the main engine.
The automation has suggested the top three landing sites based on the LIDAR scan. Also the actual landing area is different from the expected landing area. In this example, the pilot has selected site #3. He presses the corresponding button on the joystick and then presses the fire button. His job is finished, the automation will fly the vehicle to the ground. He is only allowed to designate once.
For training purposes, we provide you some partial feedback during your practice runs. Here is a map of the terrain's overall safeness, one objective you might be considering during landing point designation. Dark green areas are the safest whereas red are the most dangerous. For the main engine scenario, you may also consider the fact that you are landing past your intended landing site. You will need to balance the objectives of landing safely and landing at the intended aim point.
