The Dawn mission to the asteroid Vesta (4) with Dr. Mark Sykes and Project Mercator, a joint project with Raytheon to develop naviation software using only a terrain model and the horizon.
This set of images was taken on June 20th as Dawn approached Vesta. We created this movie from a sequence of 20 image taken over about one hour. Exposure time was 9ms. The image on the left is the original image, while the image on the right was sharpened and interpolated to bring out as much detail as possible.
