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?

the lander detached from the parachute system dropping at a speed of around 55 mph...it is estimated to have bounded along the surface after contact for up to a kilometer...not sure we will see the chute system...
