Dawn is the first mission to orbit a main belt asteroid and the
first scientific mission to use ion propulsion. Major objectives of
this mission include mapping of the surfaces of 4 Vesta and 1
Ceres, determining its topography from stereo measurements,
determining its mineralogy, measuring its elemental composition and
obtaining gravity data. This book describes the Dawn mission, its
exploration and scientific objectives, the instruments that
accomplish those objectives, the operations plan and the education
and outreach plan. It is directed to those studying asteroids and
the evolution of the solar system.
This volume will be a valuable reference for anyone who uses data
from the instruments of the DAWN mission.
Previously published in Space Science Reviews, Vol. 163/1-4, 2012."
