This thread will cover all final phases of the Dawn mission, the end of which is not certain at this point.
XMO3 was suppose to be the final orbit, but now plans have changed and it will move into a new higher altitude and higher phase orbit soon. This will be XMO4. An interesting monthly journal for January details the plan: Dawn Journal 31 January 2017 |

ADMIN MODE: Moved four recent posts to the former "Water Vapor on Ceres" thread, which has been retitled "Ceres Geology". I think that discussion will continue long after the Dawn mission is completed. Thanks!
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
