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.

... and the full disk one fills in a bit more of the northern hemisphere. Here's my current coverage map of the north pole. Locations may not be very accurate at the terminator but the general appearance is clear.

Impressive, Phil!
Is grooves spiral structure real? Which is explaination? I have impression that North pole is hiding something important but I suspect we have to wait looong time before seeing it! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

I have impression that North pole is hiding something important but I suspect we have to wait looong time before seeing it! Dilo, We are all waiting to see what the north pole hides, and according to our calculations we should be able to see most of it by July 2012. We will keep you posted. -------------------- |
