Abstract
The Dawn Framing Camera (FC) acquired close to 10,000 clear filter images of Vesta with a resolution of about 20m/pixel during the Low Altitude Mapping Orbit (LAMO) between December 2011 and April 2012. We ortho-rectified these images and produced a global high-resolution uncontrolled mosaic of Vesta. This global mosaic is the baseline for a high-resolution Vesta atlas that consists of 30 tiles mapped at a scale between 1:200,000 and 1:225,180. The nomenclature used in this atlas was proposed by the Dawn team and was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The whole atlas is available to the public through the Dawn GIS web page [http://dawn_gis.dlr.de/atlas].
