Problem
The Dawn spacecraft mission. Discuss the origins of this mission, how long it was in planning and the principal scientific objectives, and the scientific highlights of the spacecraft's life. In your opinion what will be its legacy? 1200 words response please. The intended audience of the essay is a member of the general public so the use of detailed mathematics is discouraged and all scientific "jargon" (terms) must be explained. Examples of the appropriate level of writing can be found in the articles of Skynews or Sky and Telescope or in the science section of major newspapers such as the Globe and Mail.
