Produced in 2007, this overview video about NASA's Dawn mission to giant asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres was released before the spacecraft's launch that year.
The mission greatly appreciated Leonard Nimoy's support and participation.
Dawn investigated Vesta in 2011-2012, and will arrive at Ceres March 6, 2015.
Leonard Nimoy (March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015)
Live long and prosper
