scroll down the page for the relevent images and story:

Both the Viking 1 and Pathfinder sites have recently been resolved
from orbit using a new technique to increase the resolution of the
MOC. Viking 2 might also be possible using this technique although I
believe its position is not very well known due to the lack of surface
features at its landing site. Mars 4, MPL and Beagle would also be
fascinating, but I imagine, futile, searhes...

(Not Mars 3?)

One day, there will be a research base on Mars. And this research base
will contain scientists, and the people who accrete around them - so,
we'll have a crop of grad students.

Can you see any piece of work more fitted to a grad student than "go to
Utopia Planitia, find Viking for me"?

I was under the impression that Mars 3 was the first Soviet lander and
that Mars 4 was an failed orbiter mission?
