> Observations of the giant asteroid Vesta will provide unprecedented 
> data to help scientists understand the earliest chapter of our solar 
> system. Dawn is the first spacecraft to orbit an asteroid in the main 
> asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. After spending one year 
> orbiting Vesta, Dawn will travel to a second destination, the dwarf 
> planet Ceres, and arrive there in February 2015.
