The Dawn spacecraft, launched in September 2007, embarked on a remarkable journey through the solar system. It arrived at the asteroid Vesta on July 16, 2011, providing invaluable insights into its composition and history. After departing Vesta, Dawn entered a coast phase before heading towards its next target, Ceres, where it arrived in April 2015. This mission has significantly advanced our understanding of these celestial bodies and the early solar system's formation.
