Bedtime but a quick question - I've seen a BW 360 degree view from the lander but no sign of the parachute that supposedly detached in the last 50 feet ofo descent. Anyone?

Yeah, I was looking for the parachute and lanyard system also. I'll bet that JPL can probably guess where it is located. I also noticed that the MGS hi-res image was at a pixel depth of 10 meters per pixel. If the parachute is more than 100 sq. feet, you might be able to locate it on the MGS image. I wonder if JPL can do a highest resolution pass over the area of the landing and capture the landing zone?
