Take this fairly easy way listed on my page (where you can also download a
demo and get a map screenshot), http://moon.descent-3.com/d2howto.html:

Fly through the secret door (1) into the room above. Now you are behind the
grate oppsite to the Helix Cannon. Shoot all bots in this room as well as
the trigger behind the grate where the Helix Cannon is placed. Now place a
Smart Mine (Proximity won't do) in front of the trigger on your side. Be
sure the secret door is opened otherwise the mine will explode as you
descend to the hallway. Now youยดve got about 30 sec. to fly to the secret
door (3) until the mine activates the trigger that opens the door.
