NASA Dawn Mission to Host 'Hasta La Vesta' Google+ Hangout
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
September 4, 2012

Join NASA's Dawn mission at noon on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012 for a 
Google+ Hangout featuring mission team members and fans as the 
spacecraft says hasta la vista to its host, asteroid Vesta, and 
sets its sights on the dwarf planet Ceres.

Dawn has spent a phenomenal year orbiting the giant asteroid Vesta, 
gathering data close up and far away with its international 
payload of instruments. To celebrate Dawn's achievements and 
upcoming voyage to Ceres, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 
Pasadena, Calif. will host a virtual Google+ Hangout, giving the 
public a chance to interact with Dawn scientists and engineers as 
they share mission stories and answer questions about Dawn's 
findings and future.

Members of the public are invited to submit questions in advance 
of the event by email, to dawnepo at gmail.com, or on Facebook and 
Twitter at: http://www.facebook.com/dawn.mission and 
http://twitter.com/NASA_Dawn.

A Google+ account is required for participation. To join the 
Hasta La Vesta Google+ Hangout, visit http://bit.ly/dawnhangout 
at noon PDT on Sept. 8 and log in with your Google+ username and 
password.
