[extropy-chat] Dawn mission status

[Amara Graps]

The Dawn mission instrument payload is now fully integrated and
functional: science data is sent completely from instrument through
the spacecraft, the ground data system, the Dawn Science Center and
to the instrument providers' institutions. So onwards towards
launch (June 2006).

(I updated the Wikipedia Dawn mission page.)
