The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on Monday resurrected an ambitious plan to reinstate the Dawn mission, a robotic exploration of two asteroids.
Earlier this month NASA scrapped the $446 million Dawn mission to orbit Ceres and Vesta, two of the largest asteroids orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter, nearly six months after it was put on hold because of cost overruns and technical problems.
