On March 26, the Dawn Mission team was awarded the 2014 Trophy for Current Achievement, the Smithsonian’s highest honor bestowed on groups. The Dawn probe is the first to explore asteroids within our solar system’s main belt up close. UCLA Professor Christopher T. Russell, an iPLEX member, is the principal investigator for the Dawn mission and traveled to Washington D.C. to receive the award.
