[edit] Mariner 9

I changed the sentence on Mariner 9 to

"When the Mariner 9 spacecraft entered its orbit around Mars in 1971, a dust strom lasting one month covered the entire planet, thus delaying the task of photo-mapping the planet's surface."

since the former version was imho slightly misleading (i.e. "a Mariner 9 landing caused a global dust cover"). My source is: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/past/mariner8-9.html --83.77.159.127 14:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
