NASA's dawn mission to explore Vesta and Ceres ended after a remarkable 11 years in space with no fuel to point its antenna at Earth. It left the protoplanet Vesta in 2012, reached the dwarf planet Ceres in 2015, and remained in orbit after a successful mission in 2018.
When Dawn entered orbit around the asteroid Vesta, it became the first spacecraft to circle an asteroid in the area where most of the Solar System's asteroids are found, in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter. Dawn is part of the NASA Discovery mission and was designed to orbit the asteroid Vesta, which is located between Jupiter and Mars. The Asteroid Belt Unmanned Probe is a mission designed to rendezvous with and orbit the asteroid Vesta, the largest asteroid. As with the asteroid Vesta, the unmanned asteroid belt probe entered a series of circumpolar circular orbits that will provide vantage points to study almost the entire surface of the dwarf planet.
Dawn was the first mission to explore the dwarf planet, reaching Ceres a few months before the New Horizons probe arrived at Pluto in July 2015. Dawn was also the first mission to visit a dwarf planet, several months ahead of New Horizons, which made a historic flyby of Pluto and Charon in July 2015.
Dawn is the first spacecraft to ever successfully fly around two extraterrestrial objects. Dawn will now permanently orbit Ceres, testifying to the pioneering spirit of space exploration.
Dawn was originally expected to leave Vesta on August 26, 2012 and begin its two-and-a-half-year journey to Ceres. Transit month. , arrived at Ceres on March 6, 2015. Dawn reached the large asteroid Vesta on July 16, 2011 and orbited Vesta until September 5, 2012, when it traveled to the dwarf planet Ceres.
After leaving the asteroid Vesta, Dawn traveled to the dwarf planet Ceres, becoming the first spacecraft to visit and orbit a dwarf planet and the first to orbit two alien targets. On her second flight, Don will travel to Ceres, where she will become the first spacecraft to visit a dwarf planet and orbit two alien objects. Engineers deorbited Dawn from the asteroid belt in 2012 and brought Dawn into the asteroid belt for more than two years before placing it in orbit around the dwarf planet Ceres, where it has been since 2015 Data collection.
In 2011, NASA's Dawn spacecraft took the 600-kilometer egg-shaped Vesta into orbit for a year before heading to Ceres, arriving in 2015. solar system. NASA's Dawn spacecraft proved that the protoplanet Vesta was indeed the source of HED meteorites and had enough internal heat to differentiate (separate) into a crust-mantle-core structure, just like Earth.

It's interesting that Dawn was left in orbit around Ceres. Several other spacecrafts visiting foreign bodies were carefully disposed of, such as Rosetta that was crashed into comet 67P or Cassini entering Saturn's atmosphere. At least for Cassini, there was a concern that life from Earth might contaminate one of Saturn's moons if it crashed into it and large parts of the spacecraft survived the collision. Is there no such concern with Ceres? Not that Ceres itself would host life, but maybe could carry it somewhere else.

[@MrKago1]

this is the origin story of the alien invaders that will wipe us out isn't it? if they are looking for food I would like our future overlords to know that LA is by far the best tasting selection of food. us country bumpkins are terrible for cholesterol and taste bland. its the water.

[@chicojcf]

It will be interesting to find out exactly how much hydrogen and oxygen (in the form of water) Ceres has.

[@cybercat1531]

If the idea is contamination control at end of mission then it doesn't make sense to crash the spacecraft into Ceres. Ceres has no dense atmosphere to burn up the spacecraft (sterilising it by heating). Instead because of the lack of atmosphere it would simply crash into the surface contaminating it entirely.

This is also something where I have a bone to pick with the Rosetta team about 67P.

Watching those real images, makes me respect Elite Dangerous (game) developers so much more. To those who don't know what Elite Dangerous is, it's a space simulator(ish) sci-fi game, where you're able to go anywhere in Milky Way, but the detail of our Solar system is so good, they actually take real info from NASA and other places and make game as realistic as possible. Those planets and asteroids literally look like game footage, it's so well done. On some reason you can't land on moon yet tho, they probably working on extreme detail, but it's all so realistic. Only other devs who have put such detail into their game, were Arma 3 developers and they actually got arrested in Greece for "spying" on military base. They wanted to record real footage of real military bases and add some of that stuff into their game.

[@Shinkaze33]

The whole time I was watching this video I too was thinking about Elite Dangerous' Stellar Forge system. After Stellar Forge Predicted the Trappist 1 system, Frontier should have realized they had some gold worthy of more deeply developing. The system is a triumph with the incredible star systems it generates. Honestly *THAT* is what kept me playing Elite, witnessing all the variety of planets and systems that a simplified physics model could generate.....(After 7 years playing I'm still a Mostly Harmless Elite Explorer).. ...SADLY Stellar Forge is also why I stopped playing....or rather the entire abandonment of Stellar Forge in favor of some Fortnight FPS focus with Odyssey, giving over all development to the "Pew Pew Crowd". Elite couldn't and Shouldn't have ever tried to be an FPS shooter game....wrong crowd and already a crowded sector, Elite was about the realism and FPS shooters aren't (unless people can run 20mph sideways while jumping 10 feet in the air). Realism would have looked more like "Lone Echo" with a focus on interacting with objects in your immediate space, like floating in Zero G up to an asteroid and doing an EVA to investigate some interesting discoveries...Instead we now have a weird Minimall environment that actually breaks the "no artifical gravity" lore. (on Fleet Carriers notice the decks are not perpendicular to the direction of travel, everyone should be sliding across the decks from the thrust of the ship)...le sigh. ....Anyhow I hope in the future someone creates an updated version of Stellar Forge with all the new planetary Genesis information we have learned over the past decade.

The particular colours and formations of Vestalogical material appear to span the art history periods impressionist (Monet-ish), abstract expressionism (Jackson Polak-ish), and constructivism (somewhere between Malevich and Kandinsky-ish). Add to that - that the two major impact craters appear of equal size and circumferentially intersect each others’ circular centres and create the shared ogival form known as a ‘Vesica Pisces’ and I think we should take this talented asteroid very seriously!
