The spacecraft, Dawn, was launched from Cape Canaveral 27 September 2007, and is now on it’s way to the dwarf planet, Ceres, after having been in orbit around the asteroid Vesta for 14 months, sending back dozens of photographs and other valuable data.
Dawn is on schedule to arrive and enter an orbit around the dwarf planet, Ceres, in August, 2015.
