The Dawn mission will undertake a journey in both space and time by traveling to the two oldest and most massive asteroids in our solar system, Vesta and Ceres. By observing both minor planets with the same set of instruments, Dawn will provide new answers to questions about the formation and evolution of the early solar system.
Discovery Dawn was cancelled.
