NASA's Dawn spacecraft has successfully completed the initial checkout
phase of the mission and begun its interplanetary cruise phase, which is
highlighted by nearly continuous thrusting of its ion propulsion system.
Dawn is on a 8-year, 3-billion mile journey to asteroid Vesta and dwarf
planet Ceres.
