 LOS ANGELES (AP) - NASA on Monday resurrected an ambitious mission to explore two of the solar system's largest asteroids, just weeks after budget woes killed the project.
The space agency this month scrapped the Dawn mission to orbit the asteroids Ceres and Vesta, nearly half a year after it was put on hold because of cost overruns and technical problems. The project's cost is now estimated at $446 million.
NASA decided to review the cancellation after the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which managed the mission, made an appeal.
