Right, it's about 55 m/pixel, so a Victoria-sized crater would be resolved. i hadn'r expected such high resolution - looking forward to the rest of the data set!

there will be no more pictures. but the one is gorgeous indeed ! instrument calibration data was collected. The gravity assist went quite well which was the purpose, not to collect science data. Details should be appearing at JPL website quite soon

New JPL Mars Flyby Press release has just issued with a cool mosiac comparing the same location of the image taken by Dawn to earlier photos taken by MGS and MEX

See a higher resolution version of the mosaic at my DAWN talk on Apr 15 at Gloucester County College, NJ

So there were more images after all! It looks like they were cloudy or otherwise not very good, which might explain why they were not released. Now maybe we will also learn more about the other calibrations.
