I sent several emails to members of the DAWN team. So far this is the only response received:
Dear Rick, Thanks for your interest in Dawn. We're glad you and many others are excited about Dawn and hope you'll stay with us through the entire mission. Right now, Dawn is still in its approach phase, so the heart of the Vesta rendezvous has not yet begun. We will have a high volume of imagery available starting around the time Dawn gets into "survey orbit," its first science orbit, at the beginning of August. The mission is committed to making images public. As you know, Dawn is a modestly sized project and the mission folks are focused right now on making sure everything is ready for our Vesta visit.
