Crowdsourced Effort May Have Found Soviet Mars Mission's Remains

A story at Slashgear says that the remains of a Soviet mission to Mars may have been spotted ? on Mars ? by enthusiasts poring over old photos taken by a NASA orbiter. The article points out that the find must be confirmed by further imaging, but matches the seekers' expectations.

From the article: "The community at VK.com/Curiosity_Live crowdsourced a mission to find the Soviet Union?s long-lost Mars 3 spacecraft, with the site?s leader, Vitali Egorov of St. Petersburg, Russia, creating models of what hardware from the spacecraft should look like. With this reference, the community combed through a large image taken five years ago by NASA?s MRO, identifying what is believed to be the craft?s parachute, lander, terminal retrorocket, and heat shield."
