Ultraviolet spectral reflectance data obtained from Mariner 9 during the 1971 Mars dust storm were analyzed at two wavelengths to deduce the complex index of refraction of Martian dust. Martian dust particles were considered to be irregularly shaped and randomly oriented nonspherical particles. The analysis shows that the Mariner 9 data are consistent with scattering by irregular particles with an index of refraction m = 1.59-0.0015i at 0.305 micron and m = 1.55-0.004i at 0.268 micron. Both the real and the imaginary parts of refractive index found are considerably smaller than previously reported results using a spherical shape model for Martian dust particles.
