NASA Dawn Asteroid Mission Told To ‘Stand Down’ .
The decision to stand down, according to SPACE.com sources, appears related to budget-related measures and workforce cutbacks at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/051107_dawn_qown.html Rakhir |

Does anyone know how much DAWN saved, in dollar figures, by deleting the laser ranger and magnetometer? If possible, I'd be curious as to the cost savings for each one individually.
