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 |

It is proving quite difficult to visualize topography in the Cerealia Facula mosaic. For instance, the fractures keep appearing as ridges to my eyes.
Is it yet possible to produce 3D images, or lay portions or all of the mosaic on an elevation model? |

Someone made this 3D model: https://sketchfab.com/models/6a163a690a9b44...537eb745e24f5fa Would be very nice to see the new imagery over this model! -------------------- Curiosity rover panoramas: http://www.facebook.com/CuriosityRoverPanoramas
