After years of studies, research, building, cancellations and reinstatements, NASA’s ambitious asteroid mission DAWN is finally set for launch on 7 July.

There is the BBC On-line report ‘NASA readies for asteroid mission’ here.

New Scientist report on some last-minute glitches, in their ‘NASA scrambles to launch Dawn asteroid mission’, here:

Finally, there is the official NASA page for the mission.  Visit that here.
