Wonder if Bradford Smith, leader of the imaging team, is still around, and why he wasn't present.

Also, if pictures of the Soviet Mars 3 probe and site, which beat USA to the Martian surface in December 1971 exist?

Robert Pearlman

In April 2013, NASA reported that Mars 3 may have been imaged by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

While following news about Mars and NASA's Curiosity rover, Russian citizen enthusiasts found four features in a five-year-old image from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that resemble four pieces of hardware from the Soviet Mars 3 mission: the parachute, heat shield, terminal retrorocket and lander.
