Dawn has run out of the hydrazine fuel it uses to stay oriented so that it can keep its antenna pointed at Earth and recharge its batteries with its solar panels.

Wow! This really sounds astonishing though because this will be the first time I'm hearing such a thing. But is it that the team couldn't fill up the fuel before commencing the mission or what?

I'm also wondering how they will get sun to charge the solar system unless the location contains some portion of solar radiation.

We’ve known for months that it would most likely run out of fuel between the middle of September and the middle of October,” said Dawn chief engineer Marc Raymond.

They ought to have done something about it before now even though if it means designing an additional fuel supplement or increasing the spacecraft fuel capacity to attain more fuel.

NASA engineers and scientists have expressed an interest in sending future missions to the asteroid belt.

This is actually very impressive and a great development by the NASA team. I just hope they will also be able to make more research about asteroids during the process.
