According to Dawn (who ought to know) the descent to the next mapping orbit is beginning now.
"NASA_Dawn NASA's Dawn Mission I'm done with Survey science operations today!! Time for a several-week transfer down to High Altitude Mapping Orbit (HAMO)!! 20 hours ago" Better pics on the way! Thanks, Dawn team, for the pictures so far. Will we learn of any preliminary nomenclature soon? Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

QUOTE (belleraphon1 @ Sep 21 2011, 08:53 PM)  12 presentations! abstract mostly do not reflect the results of the first weeks in orbit. but there are some exceptions. I found this intriguing: QUOTE Curiously, first crater counts from lower resolution images of the south polar depression suggest surface model ages similar to ages for northern cratered regions, despite the highly deformed state of the south polar surface. from http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2011AM/finalprog...ract_198143.htm |
