Abstract

The FC cameras onboard the Dawn spacecraft are expected to map the asteroid 4 Vesta in seven different colors from Survey Orbit in August 2011. We will present the first immediate results of the spectral mapping of the visible surface from FC images along with their association with surface compositional units. The first medium resolution observations of Vesta have been performed in July 201
