The ambitious and exciting Dawn mission is one of NASA's most remarkable ventures into the solar system. After more than seven years of interplanetary spaceflight, the probe is just a few months away from the mysterious world Ceres. The spacecraft has already completed a spectacular exploration of Vesta. These were among the last uncharted worlds in the inner solar system prior to Dawn. They are the two most massive residents of the main asteroid belt, that vast collection of bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is so large that it is included in the category of dwarf planets, along with Pluto. The alien landscapes Dawn reveals provide humankind with a new perspective on the solar system. Remnants from the time that planets were formed, Ceres and Vesta hold clues that will help scientists understand the dawn of the solar system. Dawn orbited Vesta from July 2011 to September 2012 and returned astonishing views of this fascinating world. It is the only spaceship ever to orbit an object in the asteroid belt and is the first ever targeted to orbit any two extraterrestrial destinations. Such a mission would be truly impossible without the use of ion propulsion, a technology that has mostly been in the domain of science fiction. Dr. Marc Rayman will give a fascinating and entertaining presentation on the Dawn mission and its two exotic destinations as well as its use of ion propulsion. He also will share the excitement and profundity of controlling a robotic ambassador from Earth in deep space.

Dawn, the speedy ion-drive spacecraft, left Earth in 2007 bound for Vesta and Ceres in the Asteroid Belt. These are no ordinary asteroids. Scientists see them as tiny, still born planets. They sent Dawn out to fly around them, map them, and look for evidence that will transport them to very early days of our solar system.

As the autonomous Dawn Spacecraft does it thing and descends to lower orbits around the Dwarf Planet Ceres, amazing new images reveal the two mystery spots, at one time believed to be one, are now many more and in various sizes on the crater floor. Many may have been disappointed seeing a bald, cratered mini planet when the high resolution images of Dawn started coming in with all the talk of water and such, but don't be fooled - Ceres is hiding its interior nature very well, or is it as we see with the latest round of images?
Also, Ceres was known as an asteroid and we have seen asteroids near the asteroid belt begin to outgass and act like comets in the last few years. If the absence of a nearby perturbing object rules out cryovolcanic activity due to a cooler core, Ceres may very well be doing something on its own - perhaps during an interesting transition in its history - from a big rock to an active planet.
This video is #5 in the series on this channel, expanding upon the visual artifacts of this exploration and discoveries around this exciting exploration of the planet just beyond Mars. We have received thousands of views and many thumbs up on all the videos in this series so please check them out and share with your friends and family. Ceres is already unique in its own right in the Solar System. In early June the Dawn spacecraft will do another detailed survey. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

Dawn is a space probe launched by NASA in September 27, 2007 to study the two most-massive protoplanets of the asteroid belt: Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres.
Dawn began long-term cruise ion engine propulsion on December 17, 2007. On October 31, 2008, Dawn completed its first thrusting phase to send it on to Mars for a gravity assist flyby in February 2009. During this first interplanetary cruise phase, Dawn spent 270 days, or 85% of this phase, using its thrusters. It expended less than 72 kilograms of xenon propellant for a total change in velocity of 1.81 kilometers per second. Dawn made its closest approach (549 km) to Mars on February 17, 2009 during a successful gravity assist.
On May 3, 2011, Dawn acquired its first targeting image, 1,200,000 km from Vesta, and began its approach phase to the asteroid. On June 12, Dawn's speed relative to Vesta was slowed in preparation for its orbital insertion 34 days later.
Dawn was scheduled to be inserted into orbit at 05:00 UTC on July 16 after a period of thrusting with its ion engines. Because its antenna was pointed away from the Earth during thrusting, scientists were not able to immediately confirm whether or not Dawn successfully made the maneuver. The spacecraft would then reorient itself, and was scheduled to check in at 06:30 UTC on July 17. NASA later confirmed that it received telemetry from Dawn indicating that the spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Vesta. The exact time of insertion could not be confirmed, since it depended on Vesta's mass distribution, which was not precisely known and at that time had only been estimated.
During its time in orbit around Vesta the probe experienced failures of reaction wheels. Investigators will modify their activities upon arrival at Ceres for close range geographical survey mapping. The Dawn team will orient the probe by what they have stated is a "hybrid" mode. This mode will utilize both reaction wheels and ion thrusters. Engineers have determined that the hybrid mode will conserve fuel. On November 13, 2013, during the transit, in a test preparation, Dawn engineers completed a 27-hour-long series of exercises of said hybrid mode.
Dawn was originally scheduled to depart Vesta and begin its two and a half year journey to Ceres on August 26, 2012. However, a problem with one of the spacecraft's reaction wheels forced Dawn to delay its departure from Vesta's gravity until September 5, 2012.
Dawn began photographing an extended disk of Ceres on December 1, 2014, with images of partial rotations on January 13 and 25, 2015 released as animations. Images taken from Dawn of Ceres after January 26 will exceed the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope, while images taken of Pluto by New Horizons will exceed the resolution of the Hubble telescope by approximately May 5, 2015.
Because of the failure of two reaction wheels, Dawn will make fewer camera observations of Ceres during its approach phase than it did during its Vesta approach. Camera observations require turning the spacecraft, which consumes precious hydrazine fuel. Seven optical navigation photo sessions (OpNav 1–7, on January 13 and 25, February 3 and 25, March 1, and April 10 and 15) and two full rotation observation sessions (RC1–2, on February 12 and 19) are planned before full observation begins with orbital capture. The gap in March and early April is when Ceres appears too close to the sun from Dawn?'?s vantage point to take pictures safely.
Dawn arrive at Ceres on March 6, 2015.
It was initially hoped that, after the primary mission, a flyby of Pallas might be possible when the asteroid crosses the ecliptic in December 2018. (Because of the high inclination of the Palladian orbit, only a quick flyby would have been possible.) However, with two of Dawn's reaction wheels out of commission, the remainder of Dawn's hydrazine fuel will need to be expended to augment the remaining wheels to orientate the craft in low Cererian orbit. There will be nothing left for a Palladian flyby. It is predicted that Dawn will become a perpetual satellite of Ceres when the mission is over, due to its highly stable projected orbit.

On December 10th, the Dawn spacecraft began its closest orbit of Ceres. While passing just 240 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet’s southern hemisphere, a number of images were taken and are now arriving.
On December 10th, the Dawn spacecraft began its closest orbit of Ceres.
While passing just 240 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet’s southern hemisphere, a number of images were taken and are now arriving.
Among the pictures shared by NASA are those showing the celestial body’s craters and troughs.
Such features are often caused by impacts, but some are believed to be the result of tectonic forces occurring below the surface crust.
Paul Schenk, one of the mission’s scientists, noted, “Why they are so prominent is not yet understood, but they are probably related to the complex crustal structure of Ceres."
Dawn’s first subject of investigation was the protoplanet Vesta, which it surveyed from 2011 to 2012.
The orbiter arrived at Ceres in March of 2015.
Now that the craft has reached the closest planned proximity, it will remain there for the foreseeable future.

Dawn Spacecraft Successfully Launched 27th September 07
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA's Dawn spacecraft began its 3 billion kilometer (1.7 billion mile) journey through the inner solar system to study a pair of asteroids Thursday at 7:34 a.m. Eastern Time (4:34 a.m. Pacific Time).
The Delta 2 rocket, fitted with nine strap-on solid-fuel boosters, safely climbed away from the Florida coastline and launch complex 17B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. "We have our time machine up and flying," said Dawn Principal Investigator Christopher Russell of the University of California, Los Angeles.
The Dawn mission is achieving a first in space exploration, exploring not one but two distinct destinations in the main asteroid belt, hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth. Giant asteroid Vesta was confirmed to be a dynamic terrestrial world, much like members of the inner solar system. Dwarf planet Ceres, larger yet less dense and with a confirmed presence of water vapor in its thin atmosphere, is hypothesized to be an icy body, reminiscent of members of the outer solar system. We will know far more when the mission arrives in late spring 2015 and begins its five month orbit Ceres.
By using the same set of instruments at two separate destinations, scientists can more accurately formulate comparisons and contrasts. Dawn's science instrument suite will measure shape, surface topography and tectonic history, elemental and mineral composition as well as seek out water-bearing minerals.

Dawn is a NASA spacecraft tasked with the exploration and study of the asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres, the two largest members of the asteroid belt. The spacecraft was constructed with some European cooperation, with components contributed by partners in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. The Dawn mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Dawn will be the first spacecraft to visit either Vesta or Ceres. It may furthermore be the first spacecraft to orbit two separate extraterrestrial bodies, using ion thrusters to travel between its targets. Previous multi-target missions using conventional drives, such as the Voyager program, were restricted to flybys.
Launched on September 27, 2007, Dawn entered orbit around Vesta on July 16, 2011, and will explore it until August 26, 2012. Thereafter, the spacecraft will head to Ceres, which it is scheduled to reach in February 2015.Dawn is NASA’s first purely exploratory mission to use ion propulsion.
The status of the Dawn mission has changed several times. In December 2003, the project was first cancelled, and then reinstated in February 2004. In October 2005, work on Dawn was placed in "stand down" mode. In January 2006, Dawn's "stand down" was discussed in the press as "indefinitely postponed", even though NASA had announced no new decisions regarding the mission's status. On March 2, 2006, Dawn was cancelled by NASA.

A space probe is a scientific space exploration mission in which a spacecraft leaves Earth and explores space. It may approach the Moon, enter interplanetary, flyby or orbit other bodies, or approach interstellar space. Space probes are a form of robotic spacecraft.
See list of probes by operational status for a list of active probes; the space agencies of the USSR (now Russia and Ukraine), the United States, the European Union, Japan, China and India have in the aggregate launched probes to several planets and moons of the solar system as well as to a number of asteroids and comets.
Once a probe has left the vicinity of Earth, its trajectory will likely take it along an orbit around the Sun similar to the Earth's orbit. To reach another planet, the simplest method, but wasteful of fuel, would be to head straight for it. More complex techniques, such as gravitational slingshots, can be more fuel-efficient, though they may require the probe to spend more time in transit. A technique using very little propulsion, but possibly requiring a considerable amount of time, is to follow a trajectory on the Interplanetary Transport Network.

Dawn began photographing an extended disk of Ceres on December 1, 2014, with images of partial rotations on January 13 and 25, 2015 released as animations. Images taken from Dawn of Ceres after January 26 will exceed the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope, while images taken of Pluto by New Horizons will exceed the resolution of the Hubble telescope by approximately May 5, 2015. Because of the failure of two reaction wheels, Dawn will make fewer camera observations of Ceres during its approach phase than it did during its Vesta approach. Camera observations require turning the spacecraft, which consumes precious hydrazine fuel. Seven optical navigation photo sessions (OpNav 1–7, on January 13 and 25, February 3 and 25, March 1, and April 10 and 15) and two full rotation observation sessions (RC1–2, on February 12 and 19) are planned before full observation begins with orbital capture. The gap in March and early April is when Ceres appears too close to the sun from Dawn?'?s vantage point to take pictures safely. Dawn arrive at Ceres on March 6, 2015. It was initially hoped that, after the primary mission, a flyby of Pallas might be possible when the asteroid crosses the ecliptic in December 2018. (Because of the high inclination of the Palladian orbit, only a quick flyby would have been possible.) However, with two of Dawn's reaction wheels out of commission, the remainder of Dawn's hydrazine fuel will need to be expended to augment the remaining wheels to orientate the craft in low Cererian orbit. There will be nothing left for a Palladian flyby. It is predicted that Dawn will become a perpetual satellite of Ceres when the mission is over, due to its highly stable projected orbit. -

On December 10th, the Dawn spacecraft began its closest orbit of Ceres. While passing just 240 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet’s southern hemisphere, a number of images were taken and are now arriving. Among the pictures shared by NASA are those showing the celestial body’s craters and troughs. Such features are often caused by impacts, but some are believed to be the result of tectonic forces occurring below the surface crust. Paul Schenk, one of the mission’s scientists, noted, “Why they are so prominent is not yet understood, but they are probably related to the complex crustal structure of Ceres." Dawn’s first subject of investigation was the protoplanet Vesta, which it surveyed from 2011 to 2012. The orbiter arrived at Ceres in March of 2015. Now that the craft has reached the closest planned proximity, it will remain there for the foreseeable future. -

Dawn Mission LaunchDawn Mission Launch
Dawn Spacecraft Successfully Launched 27th September 07 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA's Dawn spacecraft began its 3 billion kilometer (1.7 billion mile) journey through the inner solar system to study a pair of asteroids Thursday at 7:34 a.m. Eastern Time (4:34 a.m. Pacific Time). The Delta 2 rocket, fitted with nine strap-on solid-fuel boosters, safely climbed away from the Florida coastline and launch complex 17B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. "We have our time machine up and flying," said Dawn Principal Investigator Christopher Russell of the University of California, Los Angeles. The Dawn mission is achieving a first in space exploration, exploring not one but two distinct destinations in the main asteroid belt, hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth. Giant asteroid Vesta was confirmed to be a dynamic terrestrial world, much like members of the inner solar system. Dwarf planet Ceres, larger yet less dense and with a confirmed presence of water vapor in its thin atmosphere, is hypothesized to be an icy body, reminiscent of members of the outer solar system. We will know far more when the mission arrives in late spring 2015 and begins its five month orbit Ceres. By using the same set of instruments at two separate destinations, scientists can more accurately formulate comparisons and contrasts. Dawn's science instrument suite will measure shape, surface topography and tectonic history, elemental and mineral composition as well as seek out water-bearing minerals. http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov -

I have replaced the JPL music with music created by myself using the Reaper Digital Audio Workstation and the Independence and Proteus VX VST instrument plugins. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet) Ceres (/ˈsɪəriːz/; minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres) is the largest object in the asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi at Palermo on 1 January 1801, Ceres was the first asteroid known to astronomers, and for many years it was considered a planet. Its diameter is approximately 963 kilometers (598 miles), making it the largest of the minor planets within the orbit of Neptune. It is the only body within the orbit of Neptune that is currently designated a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union, and is the thirty-third largest known body in the Solar System. Composed of rock and ice, Ceres is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be unambiguously rounded by its own gravity. From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, and hence even at its brightest, it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye, except under extremely dark skies. Ceres appears to be differentiated into a rocky core and icy mantle, and may harbor a remnant internal ocean of liquid water under the layer of ice. The surface is probably a mixture of water ice and various hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clay. In January 2014, emissions of water vapor were detected from several regions of Ceres. This was somewhat unexpected, because large bodies in the asteroid belt do not typically emit vapor, a hallmark of comets. The robotic NASA spacecraft Dawn entered orbit around Ceres on 6 March 2015. Pictures with a resolution previously unattained were taken during imaging sessions starting in January 2015 as Dawn approached Ceres, showing a cratered surface. Two distinct bright spots (or high-albedo features) inside a crater, incorrectly reported as observed in earlier Hubble images, were seen in a 19 February 2015 image, leading to speculation about a possible cryovolcanic origin or outgassing. On 3 March 2015, a NASA spokesperson said the spots are consistent with highly reflective materials containing ice or salts, but that cryovolcanism is unlikely. On 11 May 2015, NASA released a higher resolution image showing that, instead of one or two spots, there are actually several... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_(spacecraft) Dawn is a space probe launched by NASA in September 2007 with the mission of studying two of the three known protoplanets of the asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres. It is currently in orbit about its second target, the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn is the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies, the first spacecraft to visit either Vesta or Ceres, and also the first to visit a dwarf planet, arriving at Ceres in March 2015, a few months before New Horizons is scheduled to fly by Pluto in July 2015. Dawn entered Vesta orbit on July 16, 2011, and completed a 14-month survey mission before leaving for Ceres in late 2012. Dawn entered Ceres orbit on March 6, 2015, and is predicted to remain in orbit perpetually after the conclusion of its mission. The Dawn mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory... It is the first NASA exploratory mission to use ion propulsion, which enabled it to enter and leave the orbit of multiple celestial bodies... Dawn entered Ceres orbit on March 6, 2015, four months prior to the arrival of New Horizons at Pluto... From April 23 to May 9, Dawn entered a "rotation characterization 3" (RC3) orbit at an altitude of 13,500 km... On May 9, 2015 Dawn powered its ion engines and began a month long spiral descent down to its second mapping point, a survey orbit at an altitude of 4,430 km... The survey phase will last 22 days (7 orbits)... Dawn will then spiral down to an altitude of 1,480 km (920 miles), where in August 2015 it will begin a two-month phase known as the high-altitude mapping orbit (HAMO)...After spiralling down for another two months, Dawn will begin its closest orbit around Ceres, planned to start in early December 2015, at a distance of 375 km...

Dawn Mission to the Asteroid Belt
The ambitious and exciting Dawn mission is one of NASA's most remarkable ventures into the solar system. After more than seven years of interplanetary spaceflight, the probe is just a few months away from the mysterious world Ceres. The spacecraft has already completed a spectacular exploration of Vesta. These were among the last uncharted worlds in the inner solar system prior to Dawn. They are the two most massive residents of the main asteroid belt, that vast collection of bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is so large that it is included in the category of dwarf planets, along with Pluto. The alien landscapes Dawn reveals provide humankind with a new perspective on the solar system. Remnants from the time that planets were formed, Ceres and Vesta hold clues that will help scientist... -

Dawn Spacecraft Ceres Discoveries #5 - Two Bright Spots Now Many! Planet in Transition
As the autonomous Dawn Spacecraft does it thing and descends to lower orbits around the Dwarf Planet Ceres, amazing new images reveal the two mystery spots, at one time believed to be one, are now many more and in various sizes on the crater floor. Many may have been disappointed seeing a bald, cratered mini planet when the high resolution images of Dawn started coming in with all the talk of water and such, but don't be fooled - Ceres is hiding its interior nature very well, or is it as we see with the latest round of images? Also, Ceres was known as an asteroid and we have seen asteroids near the asteroid belt begin to outgass and act like comets in the last few years. If the absence of a nearby perturbing object rules out cryovolcanic activity due to a cooler core, Ceres may very w... -

Dawn is now sending images back of Ceres from 2,800 miles above the surface. We see more detail on the white spots but exactly what this reflective material is remains inconclusive. One thing is for sure: if you want to become an expert on craters, study the asteroid turned Dwarf Planet Ceres. They are in every shape and category, and have many of the hexagonal shapes we see on other planets and moons in the Solar System.

NASA's Dawn Spacecraft Makes History As It Reaches Dwarf Planet Ceres
http://www.undergroundworldnews.com WASHINGTON, March 7 (UPI) -- After more than seven years traveling, NASA's Dawn spacecraft has reached Ceres. "NASA's Dawn spacecraft has become the first mission to achieve orbit around a dwarf planet. The spacecraft was approximately 38,000 miles (61,000 kilometers) from Ceres when it was captured by the dwarf planet's gravity," the space agency said in a statement. Beyond being the first to orbit a dwarf planet, the spacecraft is also the first to orbit two extraterrestrial targets, NASA stated. It also orbited the giant asteroid Vesta, in the space between Mars and Jupiter, from 2011 to 2012. http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2015/03/07/NASA-spacecraft-Dawn-reaches-dwarf-planet-Ceres-after-7-year-journey/7251425755781/#ixzz3Tk4eH6Op

The ambitious and exciting Dawn mission is one of NASA's most remarkable ventures into the solar system. After more than seven years of interplanetary spaceflight, the probe is just a few months away from the mysterious world Ceres. The spacecraft has already completed a spectacular exploration of Vesta. These were among the last uncharted worlds in the inner solar system prior to Dawn. They are the two most massive residents of the main asteroid belt, that vast collection of bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is so large that it is included in the category of dwarf planets, along with Pluto. The alien landscapes Dawn reveals provide humankind with a new perspective on the solar system. Remnants from the time that planets were formed, Ceres and Vesta hold clues that will help scientists understand the dawn of the solar system. Dawn orbited Vesta from July 2011 to September 2012 and returned astonishing views of this fascinating world. It is the only spaceship ever to orbit an object in the asteroid belt and is the first ever targeted to orbit any two extraterrestrial destinations. Such a mission would be truly impossible without the use of ion propulsion, a technology that has mostly been in the domain of science fiction. Dr. Marc Rayman will give a fascinating and entertaining presentation on the Dawn mission and its two exotic destinations as well as its use of ion propulsion. He also will share the excitement and profundity of controlling a robotic ambassador from Earth in deep space.

Dawn, the speedy ion-drive spacecraft, left Earth in 2007 bound for Vesta and Ceres in the Asteroid Belt. These are no ordinary asteroids. Scientists see them as tiny, still born planets. They sent Dawn out to fly around them, map them, and look for evidence that will transport them to very early days of our solar system.

As the autonomous Dawn Spacecraft does it thing and descends to lower orbits around the Dwarf Planet Ceres, amazing new images reveal the two mystery spots, at one time believed to be one, are now many more and in various sizes on the crater floor. Many may have been disappointed seeing a bald, cratered mini planet when the high resolution images of Dawn started coming in with all the talk of water and such, but don't be fooled - Ceres is hiding its interior nature very well, or is it as we see with the latest round of images?
Also, Ceres was known as an asteroid and we have seen asteroids near the asteroid belt begin to outgass and act like comets in the last few years. If the absence of a nearby perturbing object rules out cryovolcanic activity due to a cooler core, Ceres may very well be doing something on its own - perhaps during an interesting transition in its history - from a big rock to an active planet.
This video is #5 in the series on this channel, expanding upon the visual artifacts of this exploration and discoveries around this exciting exploration of the planet just beyond Mars. We have received thousands of views and many thumbs up on all the videos in this series so please check them out and share with your friends and family. Ceres is already unique in its own right in the Solar System. In early June the Dawn spacecraft will do another detailed survey. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

Dawn is a space probe launched by NASA in September 27, 2007 to study the two most-massive protoplanets of the asteroid belt: Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres.
Dawn began long-term cruise ion engine propulsion on December 17, 2007. On October 31, 2008, Dawn completed its first thrusting phase to send it on to Mars for a gravity assist flyby in February 2009. During this first interplanetary cruise phase, Dawn spent 270 days, or 85% of this phase, using its thrusters. It expended less than 72 kilograms of xenon propellant for a total change in velocity of 1.81 kilometers per second. Dawn made its closest approach (549 km) to Mars on February 17, 2009 during a successful gravity assist.
On May 3, 2011, Dawn acquired its first targeting image, 1,200,000 km from Vesta, and began its approach phase to the asteroid. On June 12, Dawn's speed relative to Vesta was slowed in preparation for its orbital insertion 34 days later.
Dawn was scheduled to be inserted into orbit at 05:00 UTC on July 16 after a period of thrusting with its ion engines. Because its antenna was pointed away from the Earth during thrusting, scientists were not able to immediately confirm whether or not Dawn successfully made the maneuver. The spacecraft would then reorient itself, and was scheduled to check in at 06:30 UTC on July 17. NASA later confirmed that it received telemetry from Dawn indicating that the spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Vesta. The exact time of insertion could not be confirmed, since it depended on Vesta's mass distribution, which was not precisely known and at that time had only been estimated.
During its time in orbit around Vesta the probe experienced failures of reaction wheels. Investigators will modify their activities upon arrival at Ceres for close range geographical survey mapping. The Dawn team will orient the probe by what they have stated is a "hybrid" mode. This mode will utilize both reaction wheels and ion thrusters. Engineers have determined that the hybrid mode will conserve fuel. On November 13, 2013, during the transit, in a test preparation, Dawn engineers completed a 27-hour-long series of exercises of said hybrid mode.
Dawn was originally scheduled to depart Vesta and begin its two and a half year journey to Ceres on August 26, 2012. However, a problem with one of the spacecraft's reaction wheels forced Dawn to delay its departure from Vesta's gravity until September 5, 2012.
Dawn began photographing an extended disk of Ceres on December 1, 2014, with images of partial rotations on January 13 and 25, 2015 released as animations. Images taken from Dawn of Ceres after January 26 will exceed the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope, while images taken of Pluto by New Horizons will exceed the resolution of the Hubble telescope by approximately May 5, 2015.
Because of the failure of two reaction wheels, Dawn will make fewer camera observations of Ceres during its approach phase than it did during its Vesta approach. Camera observations require turning the spacecraft, which consumes precious hydrazine fuel. Seven optical navigation photo sessions (OpNav 1–7, on January 13 and 25, February 3 and 25, March 1, and April 10 and 15) and two full rotation observation sessions (RC1–2, on February 12 and 19) are planned before full observation begins with orbital capture. The gap in March and early April is when Ceres appears too close to the sun from Dawn?'?s vantage point to take pictures safely.
Dawn arrive at Ceres on March 6, 2015.
It was initially hoped that, after the primary mission, a flyby of Pallas might be possible when the asteroid crosses the ecliptic in December 2018. (Because of the high inclination of the Palladian orbit, only a quick flyby would have been possible.) However, with two of Dawn's reaction wheels out of commission, the remainder of Dawn's hydrazine fuel will need to be expended to augment the remaining wheels to orientate the craft in low Cererian orbit. There will be nothing left for a Palladian flyby. It is predicted that Dawn will become a perpetual satellite of Ceres when the mission is over, due to its highly stable projected orbit.

On December 10th, the Dawn spacecraft began its closest orbit of Ceres.
While passing just 240 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet’s southern hemisphere, a number of images were taken and are now arriving.
Among the pictures shared by NASA are those showing the celestial body’s craters and troughs.
Such features are often caused by impacts, but some are believed to be the result of tectonic forces occurring below the surface crust.
Paul Schenk, one of the mission’s scientists, noted, “Why they are so prominent is not yet understood, but they are probably related to the complex crustal structure of Ceres."
Dawn’s first subject of investigation was the protoplanet Vesta, which it surveyed from 2011 to 2012.
The orbiter arrived at Ceres in March of 2015.
Now that the craft has reached the closest planned proximity, it will remain there for the foreseeable future.

Dawn Spacecraft Successfully Launched 27th September 07
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA's Dawn spacecraft began its 3 billion kilometer (1.7 billion mile) journey through the inner solar system to study a pair of asteroids Thursday at 7:34 a.m. Eastern Time (4:34 a.m. Pacific Time).
The Delta 2 rocket, fitted with nine strap-on solid-fuel boosters, safely climbed away from the Florida coastline and launch complex 17B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. "We have our time machine up and flying," said Dawn Principal Investigator Christopher Russell of the University of California, Los Angeles.
The Dawn mission is achieving a first in space exploration, exploring not one but two distinct destinations in the main asteroid belt, hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth. Giant asteroid Vesta was confirmed to be a dynamic terrestrial world, much like members of the inner solar system. Dwarf planet Ceres, larger yet less dense and with a confirmed presence of water vapor in its thin atmosphere, is hypothesized to be an icy body, reminiscent of members of the outer solar system. We will know far more when the mission arrives in late spring 2015 and begins its five month orbit Ceres.
By using the same set of instruments at two separate destinations, scientists can more accurately formulate comparisons and contrasts. Dawn's science instrument suite will measure shape, surface topography and tectonic history, elemental and mineral composition as well as seek out water-bearing minerals.

"A new video animation of dwarf planet Ceres, based on images taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, provides dramatic flyover views of this heavily cratered, mysterious world. The images come from Dawn's first mapping orbit at Ceres, at an altitude of 8,400 mile (13,600 kilometers), as well as navigational images taken from 3,200 miles (5,100 kilometers) away. The images provided information for a three-dimensional terrain model. The vertical dimension has been exaggerated by a factor of two, and a star field has been added in the background."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet)
Ceres (/ˈsɪəriːz/; minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres) is the largest object in the asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi at Palermo on 1 January 1801, Ceres was the first asteroid known to astronomers, and for many years it was considered a planet. Its diameter is approximately 963 kilometers (598 miles), making it the largest of the minor planets within the orbit of Neptune. It is the only body within the orbit of Neptune that is currently designated a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union, and is the thirty-third largest known body in the Solar System. Composed of rock and ice, Ceres is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be unambiguously rounded by its own gravity. From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, and hence even at its brightest, it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye, except under extremely dark skies.
Ceres appears to be differentiated into a rocky core and icy mantle, and may harbor a remnant internal ocean of liquid water under the layer of ice. The surface is probably a mixture of water ice and various hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clay. In January 2014, emissions of water vapor were detected from several regions of Ceres. This was somewhat unexpected, because large bodies in the asteroid belt do not typically emit vapor, a hallmark of comets.
The robotic NASA spacecraft Dawn entered orbit around Ceres on 6 March 2015. Pictures with a resolution previously unattained were taken during imaging sessions starting in January 2015 as Dawn approached Ceres, showing a cratered surface. Two distinct bright spots (or high-albedo features) inside a crater, incorrectly reported as observed in earlier Hubble images, were seen in a 19 February 2015 image, leading to speculation about a possible cryovolcanic origin or outgassing. On 3 March 2015, a NASA spokesperson said the spots are consistent with highly reflective materials containing ice or salts, but that cryovolcanism is unlikely. On 11 May 2015, NASA released a higher resolution image showing that, instead of one or two spots, there are actually several...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_(spacecraft)
Dawn is a space probe launched by NASA in September 2007 with the mission of studying two of the three known protoplanets of the asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres. It is currently in orbit about its second target, the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn is the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies, the first spacecraft to visit either Vesta or Ceres, and also the first to visit a dwarf planet, arriving at Ceres in March 2015, a few months before New Horizons is scheduled to fly by Pluto in July 2015.
Dawn entered Vesta orbit on July 16, 2011, and completed a 14-month survey mission before leaving for Ceres in late 2012. Dawn entered Ceres orbit on March 6, 2015, and is predicted to remain in orbit perpetually after the conclusion of its mission.

Dawn is now sending images back of Ceres from 2,800 miles above the surface. We see more detail on the white spots but exactly what this reflective material is remains inconclusive. One thing is for sure: if you want to become an expert on craters, study the asteroid turned Dwarf Planet Ceres. They are in every shape and category, and have many of the hexagonal shapes we see on other planets and moons in the Solar System. Since the Herschel Observatory detected neutral hydroxyl coming from Ceres and the resulting oxygen and hydrogen - or "watery plumes", this video postulates the various scenarios that would be possible with this highly reactive chemical functional group present on the Dwarf Planet. The white spots - this single unique aspect on Ceres and possibly the Solar System - says it all. And, it may say it all for the processes used to build Earth and the other solid planets.
This is a planet slowly, and painstakingly so, becoming more than just an asteroid. There are no shortages of perturbers and impactors in the neighborhood, although the asteroids in the inner belt are pretty far apart. Yet, collisions do occur and they form asteroid families. Ceres has welcomed many of these to her door step and has done a lot of clearing of her path. And things have slowed down drastically in that part of the Solar System. Asteroids are not distributed uniformly in the asteroid belt, so future collisions and planet forming activities from impacts and close brushes can never be ruled out. A chorus of planet building principium are at work - energy, mass, rotating speed and gravity from impacts; electrically charged neon comets like Comet 67P or asteroid-comets like P/2013 R3; the potential for electrical interactions with charged bodies and evidence of some of this in the past during more violent epochs; and the white spots at least speak of various materials beneath the surface and with hydroxyl radicals present - possible chemical reactions resulting in corrosives like salts and or acids.
Thanks for watching, your comments and for subscribing. At the end of June, Dawn will be 800-900 miles above the surface and we should get solid and more conclusive visual artifacts. STAY TUNED! Credits at end of video where applicable.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (UPI) -- After more than seven years traveling, NASA's Dawn spacecraft has reached Ceres.
"NASA's Dawn spacecraft has become the first mission to achieve orbit around a dwarf planet. The spacecraft was approximately 38,000 miles (61,000 kilometers) from Ceres when it was captured by the dwarf planet's gravity," the space agency said in a statement.
Beyond being the first to orbit a dwarf planet, the spacecraft is also the first to orbit two extraterrestrial targets, NASA stated. It also orbited the giant asteroid Vesta, in the space between Mars and Jupiter, from 2011 to 2012.

Artist’s view of bright spots on Ceres imaged by the Dawn spacecraft #ESO
This artist’s impression video is based on a detailed map of the surface compiled from images taken from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft in orbit around the dwarf planet Ceres. It shows the very bright patches of material in the crater Occator and elsewhere. New observations using the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla in Chile have revealed unexpected daily changes on these spots, suggesting that they change under the influence of sunlight as Ceres rotates.

Dawn Spacecraft Ceres Discoveries #7 - NASA: White Spots are Salts - Birth of A Planet
NASA finally draws a conclusion on the bright reflective white spots on the dwarf planet Ceres in the Occator crater. December 12, 2015 - "The bright material is consistent with a type of magnesium sulfate called hexahydrite." In June of this year (2015) we concluded these white spots were salts or acids because of the chemicals detected by the Herschel Space Observatory a year or so earlier and visual clues from the many different images compared to known geology and what types of highly reflective materials exist in the Solar System and on Earth. Dawn has truly given us more than we could have bargained for in terms of unambiguous proof of water on Ceres, seeing we believed water would be subsurface and Dawn had no instruments to penetrate and do ground samples and prove this.

Dwarf planet Ceres is shown in these images from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft that create a movie of Ceres rotating. Ceres reveals some of its well-kept secrets in two new studies in the journal Nature, thanks to data from Dawn. They include highly anticipated insights about mysterious bright features found all over the dwarf planet's surface. In one study, scientists identify this bright material as a kind of salt. The second study suggests the detection of ammonia-rich clays, raising questions about how Ceres formed. These images are false-color renderings, which highlight differences in surface materials.

Dawn (spacecraft) - Video Learning - WizScience.com
""Dawn"" is a space probe launched by NASA in September 2007 with the mission of studying two of the three known protoplanets of the asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres. It is currently in orbit about its second target, the dwarf planet Ceres. "Dawn" is the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies, the first spacecraft to visit either Vesta or Ceres, and also the first to visit a dwarf planet, arriving at Ceres in March 2015, a few months before "New Horizons" flew by Pluto in July 2015. "Dawn" entered Vesta orbit on July 16, 2011, and completed a 14-month survey mission before leaving for Ceres in late 2012. "Dawn" entered Ceres orbit on March 6, 2015, and is predicted to remain in orbit perpetually after the conclusion of its mission. The "Dawn" mission is managed by NASA'... -

NASA finally draws a conclusion on the bright reflective white spots on the dwarf planet Ceres in the Occator crater. December 12, 2015 - "The bright material is consistent with a type of magnesium sulfate called hexahydrite." In June of this year (2015) we concluded these white spots were salts or acids because of the chemicals detected by the Herschel Space Observatory a year or so earlier and visual clues from the many different images compared to known geology and what types of highly reflective materials exist in the Solar System and on Earth.
Dawn has truly given us more than we could have bargained for in terms of unambiguous proof of water on Ceres, seeing we believed water would be subsurface and Dawn had no instruments to penetrate and do ground samples and prove this. With the Dawn spacecraft completing its final orbit and Primary Mission, we were all told in the beginning Dawn "could only do so much." Just think of how many scoops of Martian soil it has taken from all of the ground based Mars spacecraft over many years to even form the basis for hypothesis of water on Mars. And now, we are pretty sure if all the bound ice in the poles of Mars melted, it would cover the entire Martian surface with several meters (15-30?) of water. But on Ceres, with the help of impacts from celestial objects and imaging systems on a spacecraft at just over a few hundred kms away, we can see reflective material indicative of highly reflective salt like the magnesium sulfate called hexahydrite. This type of mineral deposit only happens with the presence of a liquid, generally water. There are caves on Earth with hexahydrites.
Additionally, the abundance of ammonia and nitrogen and in clay on Ceres suggests a outer cold solar system point of origin. This may give clues that Ceres or chunks of the planet were not from the immediate environment of the dwarf planet - the main asteroid belt. Ceres is churning, belching, spewing bitter salts and acidic material and it is powdery and getting crusty and crunchy. Ceres needs fresh material from more celestial objects to grow and have better chances. In our search for the Bitter Celestial Object, we certainly have found one. All in all, Dawn was an excellent name given to the spacecraft to help us make these discoveries. It confirms something we have known on how a planet forms in show-and-tell fashion, and brings it before our eyes and lets us see and feel the truly unique Texas sized planet beyond Mars called Ceres.
We really appreciate it if you took the time to watch this video. Thanks for your comments and a BIG THANKS to our subscribers. Credits at end of video.

""Dawn"" is a space probe launched by NASA in September 2007 with the mission of studying two of the three known protoplanets of the asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres. It is currently in orbit about its second target, the dwarf planet Ceres. "Dawn" is the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies, the first spacecraft to visit either Vesta or Ceres, and also the first to visit a dwarf planet, arriving at Ceres in March 2015, a few months before "New Horizons" flew by Pluto in July 2015.
"Dawn" entered Vesta orbit on July 16, 2011, and completed a 14-month survey mission before leaving for Ceres in late 2012. "Dawn" entered Ceres orbit on March 6, 2015, and is predicted to remain in orbit perpetually after the conclusion of its mission.
The "Dawn" mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with spacecraft components contributed by European partners from the Netherlands, Italy and Germany. It is the first NASA exploratory mission to use ion propulsion, which enabled it to enter and leave the orbit of multiple celestial bodies. Previous multi-target missions using conventional drives, such as the "Voyager" program, were restricted to flybys.
The first working ion thruster was built by Harold R. Kaufman in 1959 at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio. The thruster was similar to the general design of a gridded electrostatic ion thruster with mercury as its fuel. Suborbital tests of the engine followed during the 1960s, and in 1964 the engine was tested on a suborbital flight aboard the Space Electric Rocket Test 1 . It successfully operated for the planned 31 minutes before falling back to Earth. This test was followed by an orbital test, SERT-2, in 1970. Deep Space 1 , which NASA launched in 1998, demonstrated the long-duration use of an ion thruster on a science mission, and validated a number of technologies, including the NSTAR electrostatic ion thruster, as well as performing a flyby of an asteroid and a comet. Among the other technologies validated by the DS1 was the Small Deep Space Transponder, which is used on "Dawn" for long-range communication.

STORYLINE
NASA's spacecraft Dawn rocketed away on Thursday towards an unprecedented double encounter in the asteroid belt.
Scientists hope the mission will shed light on the early solar system by exploring the two largest bodies in the belt between Mars and Jupiter: an asteroid named Vesta and a dwarf planet the size of Texas named Ceres.
Dawn won't reach Vesta, its first stop, until 2011, and Ceres, its second and last stop, until 2015.
Chris Russell, DAWN Principle Investigator, said the team had already received a shipment of data from the spacecraft.
He said the team were going to study the data but so far, "they're very, very pleased by what they see."
Scientists chose the two targets not only because of their size but because they are so different from one another.
Vesta, about the length of the state of Arizona and not quite spherical, is dry and rocky, and appears to have a surface of frozen lava, the likely source of many meteorites reaching Earth.
Ceres, upgraded to a dwarf planet just last year, is nearly spherical, icy and may have frost-covered poles.
Both formed around the same time some 4-and-a-half (b) billion years ago.
Dawn's mission is the world's first attempt to journey to a celestial body and orbit it, then travel to another and circle it as well. Ion-propulsion engines, once confined to science fiction, are making it possible.
Dawn has cameras, an infrared spectrometer and a gamma ray and neutron detector to probe the surfaces of Vesta and Ceres from orbit.
It also has solar wings that measure nearly 65 feet from tip to tip, to generate power as it ventures farther from the sun.
Dawn has three ion engines providing a gentle yet increasingly accelerating thrust, as electrons bombard its modest supply of xenon gas, and sending ion particles shooting into space, to nudge the spacecraft forward.
Even "Star Wars" had only twin ion engines with its T.I.E. Fighters, the chief engineer noted with a smile earlier in the week.
The mission costs 357 (m) million US dollars excluding the unpublicised price of the Delta II launch rocket.

Mysterious Ceres Dwarf Planet In Amazing False Color - Dawn Mission
Ceres is like a total mystery. We never expected to find so many amazing things on such a small celestial body. Every since NASA put out an article saying they found bright lights at the Occator Crater and a "Pyramid" somewhere there should be nothing like it! We are living in fascinating times and I sure hope that we will get the fourth and final mapping from NASA at the altitude of 230 miles up. The resolution will be stunning. The same amazing stuff is going on with the New Horizons probe and Pluto. If I was funding NASA or a private project I would make these two main focuses for Rover type vehicles that can withstand it. As always here is the link to the NASA site where you can download these images yourself as well as the WUITS website where you can get the enhanced images! ... -

The von Kármán Lecture Series: Dawn’s Mission to the Asteroid Belt
A Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series talk, held December 4 and 5 at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, addressed the ambitious and exciting mission of the Dawn spacecraft, one of NASA's most remarkable ventures into the solar system. After more than seven years of interplanetary spaceflight, which included a spectacular exploration of the asteroid Vesta, the Dawn probe is just a few months away from the mysterious world, Ceres. Ceres and Vesta are two of the most massive residents of the main asteroid belt, that vast collection of bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Dr. Marc Rayman, Dawn Project Mission Director, is the featured speaker. -
Space Documentary: INSIDE THE SUN (Full Documentary)
It contains 99.9 percent of all the matter in our solar system and sheds hot plasma at nearly a million miles an hour. The temperature at its core is a staggering 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. It convulses, it blazes, it sings. You know it as the sun. Scientists know it as one of the most amazing physics laboratories in the universe. Now, with the help of new spacecraft and Earth-based telescopes, scientists are seeing the sun as they never have before and even recreating what happens at its very center in labs here on Earth. Their work will help us understand aspects of the sun that have puzzled scientists for decades. But more critically, it may help us predict and track solar storms that have the power to zap our power grid, shut down telecommunications, and ground global air travel fo... -
Hubble And Dawn Collaborate To See Ceres
As the Dawn Spacecraft approaches the dwarf planet Ceres in a matter of months, it's difficult to forget the amount of teamwork and collaboration that took place in order for amazing feats like this to be accomplished. As of right now, the +Hubble Space Telescope has the highest resolution image of Ceres, but that's all about to change as Dawn arrives and gives us all a completely new perspective of the largest object in the asteroid belt. In fact, the images taken by Hubble have been highly instrumental in the planning phases of getting Dawn to Ceres, as well as Vesta. To continue in the spirit of collaboration, this week's #HubbleHangout will be with those involved in imaging Ceres with Hubble as well as members of the +Dawn Mission Education and Communications (E/C) team!

Dawn: A Journey to the Early Solar System
Dawn: A Journey to the Early Solar System Lucy McFadden, Goddard Space Flight Center NASA's Dawn mission was launched in 2007 on an circuitous journey to study the two largest members of the asteroid belt. The spacecraft visited Vesta in 2011-2012, and arrived at Ceres in 2015. The study of these objects tells a story about the early solar system in the region between Mars and Jupiter. Cameras, spectrometers and the precise location of the spacecraft have revealed geological, compositional and physical facts about Vesta from which we derive its evolutionary history over the past 4.5 billion years. Compared to Vesta, Ceres is twice as large, has a distinctly different density and composition, and did not suffer the massive collisions of the former. While there are no known meteorites... -

NASA's Dawn Defines Vesta's Role in Solar System History
During a NASA Television Science briefing, scientists discussed the findings of the first global analysis of the giant asteroid Vesta by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. The Dawn mission has confirmed Vesta's status as a special fossil of the early solar system and revealed a more varied, diverse world than originally thought. Dawn has shown Vesta is the only known intact, layered planetary building block with an iron core surviving from the earliest days of the solar system. It therefore more closely resembles a small planet or Earth's moon, not another asteroid. -

Unveiling The Dwarf Planet Ceres
Unveiling a Dwarf Planet: Dawn Spacecraft at Ceres. Prior to Dawn's arrival, the dwarf planet Ceres was the largest unexplored world in the inner solar system. Ceres was discovered in 1801, the first object identified at a time when many were searching for a 'missing' planet between Mars and Jupiter. Initially Ceres was believed to be this 'missing planet' but once it was determined that there were many objects forming a 'belt', Ceres was demoted from planet to minor planet, then to asteroid 1 Ceres. The IAU reclassified Ceres as a dwarf planet in 2006. Regardless of its classification, the nearly 1000-km-diameter Ceres is an intriguing planetary body thought to have formed within the first few million years of formation of our solar system. Ceres is roughly 30% water by mass as evidenced ... -

Advanced Propulsion for JPL Deep Space Missions
JPL’s Dawn mission is en route to rendezvous with the main-belt asteroids Vesta and Ceres, and is using ion propulsion to get there. Similar thrusters have been used by communications satellites to control their orbits around Earth, but Dawn is one of the first NASA missions to use this technology. Using electricity from solar panels, the system accelerates ionized xenon gas to very high velocities, resulting in a gentle but steady thrust over many days, weeks or months. Such “ion beams” pushing the spacecraft through the solar system greatly increases the amount of thrust available from each kilogram of propellant carried by the spacecraft – enabling a new range of NASA science missions. This talk will explain how electric thrusters work, and when and why it is desirable to use this new t...

wn.com/Mysterious Ceres Dwarf Planet In Amazing False Color Dawn Mission
Ceres is like a total mystery. We never expected to find so many amazing things on such a small celestial body. Every since NASA put out an article saying they found bright lights at the Occator Crater and a "Pyramid" somewhere there should be nothing like it! We are living in fascinating times and I sure hope that we will get the fourth and final mapping from NASA at the altitude of 230 miles up. The resolution will be stunning. The same amazing stuff is going on with the New Horizons probe and Pluto. If I was funding NASA or a private project I would make these two main focuses for Rover type vehicles that can withstand it. As always here is the link to the NASA site where you can download these images yourself as well as the WUITS website where you can get the enhanced images! Let us know what you think below!

It contains 99.9 percent of all the matter in our solar system and sheds hot plasma at nearly a million miles an hour. The temperature at its core is a staggering 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. It convulses, it blazes, it sings. You know it as the sun. Scientists know it as one of the most amazing physics laboratories in the universe. Now, with the help of new spacecraft and Earth-based telescopes, scientists are seeing the sun as they never have before and even recreating what happens at its very center in labs here on Earth. Their work will help us understand aspects of the sun that have puzzled scientists for decades. But more critically, it may help us predict and track solar storms that have the power to zap our power grid, shut down telecommunications, and ground global air travel for days, weeks, or even longer. Such storms have happened before—but never in the modern era of satellite communication. "Secrets of the Sun" reveals a bright new dawn in our understanding of our nearest star—one that might help keep our planet from going dark.

As the Dawn Spacecraft approaches the dwarf planet Ceres in a matter of months, it's difficult to forget the amount of teamwork and collaboration that took place in order for amazing feats like this to be accomplished.
As of right now, the +Hubble Space Telescope has the highest resolution image of Ceres, but that's all about to change as Dawn arrives and gives us all a completely new perspective of the largest object in the asteroid belt. In fact, the images taken by Hubble have been highly instrumental in the planning phases of getting Dawn to Ceres, as well as Vesta.
To continue in the spirit of collaboration, this week's #HubbleHangout will be with those involved in imaging Ceres with Hubble as well as members of the +Dawn Mission Education and Communications (E/C) team!
Please join +Tony Darnell Dr +Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis, who will be on location at +NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory with +Keri Bean as we discuss the long journey Dawn has made to get to Ceres. Joining them as well is +Max Mutchler and +Jianyang Li who worked on getting the gorgeous view from Hubble.
Bring your questions and comments and we'll read them on air throughout the hangout!

Dawn: A Journey to the Early Solar System
Lucy McFadden, Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA's Dawn mission was launched in 2007 on an circuitous journey to study the two largest members of the asteroid belt. The spacecraft visited Vesta in 2011-2012, and arrived at Ceres in 2015. The study of
these objects tells a story about the early solar system in the region between Mars and Jupiter. Cameras, spectrometers and the precise location of the spacecraft have revealed geological, compositional and physical facts about Vesta from which we derive its evolutionary history over the past 4.5 billion years. Compared to Vesta, Ceres is twice as large, has a distinctly different density and composition, and did not suffer the massive collisions of the former. While there are no known meteorites on Earth that have come from Ceres, about 1 of every 7 meteorites on Earth is from Vesta. Come hear the latest findings from an ambitious asteroidal adventure.
Hosted by Dr. Frank Summers. Recorded live on December 1, 2015 at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD.

Welcome to Episode 2 of Ultra Frontier Explorer - a new series on http://www/alwaysaround.net all about space exploration.
Following up on Episode 1 which covered; NASA's Dawn mission to the planetoids Vesta and Ceres in the asteroid belt, the possible explanations for the bright spots on Ceres, and the possibility of life on Ceres - which you can still watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=278pAkMcAJo
As promised, in this triple-length Episode 2 we cover Interplanetary Travel and the difference between Rockets, Ion engines and Solar Sails. Find out how spacecraft get from one world to another, what a Hohmann Transfer is, and what Specific Impulse means, and why these things are so important to space exploration! And how manned missions to Mars might get there in half the time of current missions!
Particularly looking at the exciting journeys of Curiosity / Mars Science Laboratory (Seven Minutes of Terror!), Dawn and IKAROS as examples. We also cover ESA's GOCE & SMART-1 spacecraft, JAXA's Hyabusa asteroid sampler mission and the Planetary Society's crowd-funded Lightsail project! (To support the ongoing Lightsail Project go to: http://www.planetary.org or find Lightsail on Kickstarter).
This Ep2 is partly in response to some commenters wondering about why it took so long to get more photos back from Ceres after Dawn first went into orbit. I responded in comments to Ep 1 roughly as follows:
" As I mentioned briefly in the vid, Dawn is at very high altitude on the night side of Ceres at the moment and according to NASA it will only begin entering its target orbit & see Ceres come out of the darkness around 14th - 23rd April (see also: http://dawnblog.jpl.nasa.gov/). This might seem odd if you're used to following space probes in the past - but, again as I mentioned, Dawn uses an ion engine for it's main interplanetary propulsion & major course corrections (Dawn is one of only three interplanetary probes to use an ion drive to date). In a nutshell ion engines have great "fuel economy" (high specific impulse) but to date (very) low thrust e.g. 0 to 60mph in 4 days!. So, to change course to lower orbit Dawn must do a long, slow engine burn (I'm going to do a follow up vid on ion engines). In contrast most interplanetary probes have used trad rocket engines that have poor fuel economy, but higher thrust, so they can make course corrections much more quickly. However, the long endurance / low thrust ion engine works out at greater speed changes (delta V) over the years of a mission for a similar payload of fuel / reaction mass, which is why Dawn was able to orbit two worlds (Vesta and Ceres), rather than just one! "

During a NASA Television Science briefing, scientists discussed the findings of the first global analysis of the giant asteroid Vesta by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. The Dawn mission has confirmed Vesta's status as a special fossil of the early solar system and revealed a more varied, diverse world than originally thought. Dawn has shown Vesta is the only known intact, layered planetary building block with an iron core surviving from the earliest days of the solar system. It therefore more closely resembles a small planet or Earth's moon, not another asteroid.

It therefore more closely resembles a small planet or Earth's moon, not another asteroid.

Unveiling a Dwarf Planet: Dawn Spacecraft at Ceres. Prior to Dawn's arrival, the dwarf planet Ceres was the largest unexplored world in the inner solar system. Ceres was discovered in 1801, the first object identified at a time when many were searching for a 'missing' planet between Mars and Jupiter. Initially Ceres was believed to be this 'missing planet' but once it was determined that there were many objects forming a 'belt', Ceres was demoted from planet to minor planet, then to asteroid 1 Ceres. The IAU reclassified Ceres as a dwarf planet in 2006. Regardless of its classification, the nearly 1000-km-diameter Ceres is an intriguing planetary body thought to have formed within the first few million years of formation of our solar system. Ceres is roughly 30% water by mass as evidenced by its density and consistent with its shape. The water likely formed a subsurface ocean early in Ceres' history, but now is mostly an ice mantle that lies near its surface. The surface of Ceres is warm compared to the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and this would have enabled convection within the ice and ocean shell, allowing transport of heat and material between the warm rocky interior and the surface. Recently, the Herschel Space Observatory observed water vapor coming from Ceres that appeared to be localized to certain longitudes. These observations, together with previous Hubble Space Telescope and other ground-based observations, tell us that Ceres is a unique object, straddling the boundary between the rocky bodies of the inner solar system, and the ice- and water-rich moons of the outer solar system, and that Ceres has a similar astrobiological potential as those other icy moons. Having completed its comprehensive investigation of protoplanet Vesta in September of 2012, the Dawn spacecraft travelled to Ceres, reaching it early in 2015 to finally pull back the veil on this mysterious world. Highlights from the first science orbits will be presented.

JPL’s Dawn mission is en route to rendezvous with the main-belt asteroids Vesta and Ceres, and is using ion propulsion to get there. Similar thrusters have been used by communications satellites to control their orbits around Earth, but Dawn is one of the first NASA missions to use this technology. Using electricity from solar panels, the system accelerates ionized xenon gas to very high velocities, resulting in a gentle but steady thrust over many days, weeks or months. Such “ion beams” pushing the spacecraft through the solar system greatly increases the amount of thrust available from each kilogram of propellant carried by the spacecraft – enabling a new range of NASA science missions. This talk will explain how electric thrusters work, and when and why it is desirable to use this new technology.
