Favourite rover - lander configuration

[HoHun]

I use a 4 'ruggified' wheel rover as a science drone that has a landing gear leg on top to righten up itself when it has accidentally overturned.

It's lands on top of a six-legged lander, then drives off the top. Occassionally, it ends up upside-down when driving off, but due to the design, no problem there.

I also tried to land the rover below the lander, upright and inverted, but this didn't work quite as well.

This rover delivery system is officially endorsed by Jeb Kerman (because it involves explosions and objects flying in random directions)

For larger rovers that aren't planning to be relocated after landing, I'll often use side-mounted thrusters for landing.

Once the rover's dirtside, the landing engines and SAS modules can be dispensed with.

Splodey!

My unkerbaled probe-rover I slung under a lander (with side mounted rockets). My 2-kerbal rover, on my Duna mission, I attached at a 45 degree angle on the side of the lander. It slide right off (after extensive testing on Kerbal).

I have used this style as well. It is a neat landing solution.

on airless worlds small rovers on top big rovers underneath.

when there is an atmosphere, deploy chutes and separate before landing
