The NASA Dawn mission, launched in 2007, aimed to visit two of the
most massive protoplanets of the main asteroid belt: Vesta and
Ceres. The aim was to further our understanding of the earliest
days of the Solar System, and compare the two bodies to better
understand their formation and evolution. This book summarises
state-of-the-art results from the mission, and discusses the
implications for our understanding not only of the asteroid belt
but the entire Solar System. It comprises of three parts: Part 1
provides an overview of the main belt asteroids and provides an
introduction to the Dawn mission; Part 2 presents key findings from
the mission; and Part 3 discusses how these findings provide
insights into the formation and evolution of the Solar System. This
is a definitive reference for academic researchers and
professionals of planetary science, asteroid science and space
exploration.
