Summary

DescriptionPIA21079 Ceres in Color.jpg	English: This image of Ceres approximates how the dwarf planet's colors would appear to the eye. This view of Ceres, produced by the German Aerospace Center in Berlin, combines images taken during Dawn's first science orbit in 2015 using the framing camera's red, green and blue spectral filters. The color was calculated using a reflectance spectrum, which is based on the way that Ceres reflects different wavelengths of light and the solar wavelengths that illuminate Ceres. Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team. For a complete list of mission participants, see http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission. For more information about the Dawn mission, visit http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov. Français : Cette image de Cérès montre approximativement comment les couleurs de la planète naine apparaîtraient à l'œil. Cette vue de Ceres, réalisée par le Centre Aérospatial Allemand de Berlin, combine les images prises lors de la première mise en orbite scientifique de la sonde spatiale Dawn en 2015 à l'aide d'une caméra à filtres spectraux rouge, vert et bleu. La couleur a été déduite en utilisant un spectre de réflectance, basé sur la façon dont Cérès reflète différentes longueurs d'ondes lumineuses et les longueurs d'ondes solaire qui l'éclairent. La mission Dawn est gérée par le Jet Propulsion Laboratory, pour le compte de la Direction de la mission scientifique de la NASA à Washington. Dawn est un projet du Programme Discovery, géré par le centre de vol spatial Marshall de la NASA à Huntsville, en Alabama. L'Université de Californie à Los Angeles est responsable de l'ensemble de la mission scientifique de Dawn. Orbital ATK, à Dulles en Virginie, a conçu et construit la sonde spatiale. Le Centre aérospatial allemand, l'Institut Max Planck pour la recherche sur le système solaire, l'Agence spatiale italienne et l'Institut national d'astrophysique italien sont des partenaires internationaux de l'équipe de mission.
