Dear all,
We are amazed, and a bit flattered, by the interest that the Dawn mission has awaken throughout the internet and particularly in this forum, and we would like to thank you for it. Space imagery is frequently subject of discussion and even re-work in these pages, but the field of space operations does not seem to be covered very often. That is why we have decided to offer you all the posibility to ask your questions to the team, that we will gladly reply within the limitations provided by our working agreements with JPL/NASA and the Dawn Science Team. We would like to request in advance your understanding if we do not reply promptly (or not at all) to some of your questions. We are in a busy and exciting time, and we intend to share this excitement with you as much as we can. Thank you all for making a great site out of UMSF and for your participation in this topic. Regards, Pablo Gutiérrez-Marqués Framing Camera Operations Manager -------------------- |

How long does the camera take to make a picture? --Greg Hi Greg, The camera takes about 5 seconds plus exposure time to acquire an image when we command single shots. We have a batch mode were several image are taken with one command, and there we can get down to about 1 image every 3.5 seconds. Concerning the exposure times, we are currently in the order of 10 ms for the clear filter and between 150 and 1200 ms for the color filters, where we have varying sensitivity. -------------------- |
