Add to ORKGBy October 7, 2011, the Dawn spacecraft mission will have completed its Survey orbit (3000 km from the body’s center of mass) and commenced high-altitude (950 km) mapping of 4Vesta, a large asteroid that experienced igneous differentiation and is thought to be the source of howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorites. Dawn’s three payload instruments – Framing Camera, Visible and Near-Infrared Spectrometer, and Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector – are sensitive to the mineralogical and geochemical compositions of Vesta’s surface. Preliminary spectral mapping has revealed prominent color variations that imply compositional differences and/or different degrees of space weathering. Survey spectroscopic results will provide better information on t...
