t - trooper
I - walls
" - ground

I set the launcher to go to the ground behind the alien and then turn and hit him.
like this
..............................t____
...................,...,...'..........I
...........,....'..............____I
.....w-----m..............I........

Telling a blaster bomb to go straight up or down is dangerous because of a bug that forces the missile to go south. The safest thing to do from above is to point the missile up and 1 square from the target, then in the square right behind the target at the target's level, then criss-cross the target a bunch of times to ensure that one of them will hit:
2-D side view for steps 1 to 9:
... = empty
-- = missile trail

8 chances to hit! You can also make waypoints overlap. I drew it without overlapping just so you could see what was going on.. else 2,4,6,8 would overlap and so would 3,5,7,9.
