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?

The latest image releases at the Dawn site are much higher resolution - very nice indeed. And it will get even better!

True. But Oct,12 image showing boulders in the crater floor is quite "flat" and deserves an enhanced version:

Any opinions on the strange half-craters on the recent IOTDs?
