              AFAIK - The Russian space agency never provided an update on them. Pity, I’d like to have seen them operate ☺️

                It sounds like of the four missions containing PrOP-M rovers, only Mars 3 made it to a soft landing on the surface.

                The lander began transmitting to the Mars 3 orbiter 90 seconds after landing. After 20 seconds, transmission stopped for unknown reasons.

                Due to communication loss it is unknown whether the rover was deployed.

                  I guess the world will have to wait for those future boots on the ground at the Mars 3 landing site to see if the rover was deployed. Deep down I hope it did get deployed and roved, even it was only a few centimeters / inches. Those boots will be long after I am pushing up the daisies, as I’m already older than dirt… :) But the young ones that follow these exploits on Mars will get to see what happened… :)
