{description}   Technicians install solar panels aboard the mariner H spacecraft
                in a cleanroom facility at Cape Kennedy. The spacecraft will
                orbit Mars following a seven-month journey from Earth. Designed
                to function 90 days, the spacecraft, which will be designated
                Mariner 8 following launch, will provide data about the Red
                Planet's atmospheric and surface characteristics. Mariner Mars H
                will be launched aboard an Atlas-Centaur space vehicle no earlier
                than May 7, 1971, from Cape Kennedy's Launch Complex 36A. A
                second Mariner Mars spacecraft will be launched 10 days later.
