Dawn is a GO!! satellite launched just a few minutes ago...
09.27.07
The Dawn spacecraft thundered off the launch pad aboard a Delta II rocket on the first part of its journey to the asteroid belt.
Safely perched in the nosecone of the rocket, the probe rode the smoke and fire of the Delta II through the atmosphere on its way into Earth orbit.
The nosecone fell away as planned, giving the spacecraft its first taste of the vacuum of space. Telemetry engineers at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station are evaluating the trip so far and are waiting for the second and third stages of the Delta II to fire and send Dawn on its way.
The Dawn mission will traverse the inner solar system on its way to survey Vesta and Ceres, a pair of asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter.
