2001-12-21
Dawn was selected on December 21, 2001 as one of two awardees
for NASA's Discovery
Program. Dawn will be NASA's first purely scientific mission
using solar electric propulsion (SEP), an advanced technology
that will enable many future aspects of solar system exploration
and that has been validated for flight by the New Millennium
program's Deep Space 1 mission.
The material on this website was prepared from information
gathered for the Concept Study Report. Since the Step 1
proposal NASA has changed the funding profile available
for the Discovery program necessitating changes in launch
dates and other mission characteristics. The science objectives
have not changed from Step 1.
