  1. Dawn Discovery Mission Dawn Mission Briefing CSI Activity

  2. Main absorption wavelengths of symmetric stretching (v 1), bending (v 2) and asymmetric stretching (v 3) of water molecules in three phases Dawn Mission Briefing

  3. Dawn Mission Science Goals Dawn Mission Briefing • Understand conditions and processes of solar system formation • Understand the role of water in asteroid evolution

  4. will utilize the interactionsbetween different frequencies/wavelengths of the EMR and matter to make scientific measurements and analyze data Dawn Mission Briefing To meet these Dawn Mission Science Goals Dawn Spacecraft instrumentation

  5. Neutron spectroscopy Gamma Ray Spectroscopy GRaND Dawn Mission Briefing We learned that Dawn’s Visible and Infrared (VIR) spectrometer and its Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND) will be looking for evidence of water and water ice. VIR Spectrometer

  6. Neutron spectroscopy Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Framing Camera VIR Spectrometer GRaND Dawn Mission Briefing Which of the Dawn spacecraft instruments will be used • to detect the presence of elements • and mineral content on the asteroids’ surfaces?

  7. Neutron spectroscopy Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Framing Camera VIR Spectrometer GRaND Dawn Mission Briefing Which of the Dawn spacecraft instruments will be used • to create global topography, albedo, and color maps of the asteroid’s surface?

  8. Neutron spectroscopy Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Framing Camera VIR Spectrometer GRaND Dawn Mission Briefing Which of the Dawn spacecraft instruments will be used • to map the abundance of radioactive elements and major constituents of ices?

  9. Neutron spectroscopy Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Framing Camera VIR Spectrometer GRaND Dawn Mission Briefing Which of the Dawn spacecraft instruments will be used • to measure the shape, volume, mass, and mass distribution of Vesta and Ceres?

  10. Dawn Mission Briefing We have just learned that Meeting each of the science objectives for the Dawn mission requires More than one kind of instrumentation Measuring EMR interactions at different energy levels
