Mars Connect Alert

News: a giant dust storm is now sweeping the planet and obliterating any vision of delicate surface features for mapping and other missions. The Mars Connect project has currently put a halt to global Mars planetary imaging. It's unknown at this time if the growing dust storm will subside before, or during closest approach of the planet to the Earth. If the storm continues, Mars Connect will hand over operations to HSO. It's likely HSO may conduct missions to the Jovian system and to the Saturn ring system.
