[WikiEN-l] minor issue, but still a npov warning

Generally our articles on missions are on the missions themselves, their 
planning, accomplishments, and so on, with separate articles on the 
components describing the functioning of the components themselves.  For 
example, the information on the first moon landing is on [[Apollo 11]], 
the name of the mission, while [[Apollo Lunar Module]], the craft that 
actually performed the landing, is an article on the craft itself (which 
of course does mention that it landed on the moon, but is not the 
primary article about the moon landing).

It seems to make sense, along similar lines, to have [[Cassini-Huygens]] 
be the article about the mission, which was planned and executed largely 
as a joint mission, and then separate articles about [[Cassini]] and 
[[Huygens]] describing the detailed information about the craft.  After 
all, there was no "Huygens mission" or "Cassini mission", but a 
"Cassini-Huygens mission" that used both craft.  Huygens and Cassini 
themselves are merely pieces of equipment.
