PrOP-M - 0 ft
Sojourner - 330 ft
Zhurong - 6,302 ft (~1.2 miles)
Thanks! I wasn't familiar with PrOP-M. What a whacky method of locomotion it would have had!
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... :)
