If all goes well, NASA’s first mission to the asteroid belt, called Dawn, will rocket off the launch pad on 7 July or soon after. But the window of opportunity for this mission is squeezed fairly tight by traffic at Cape Canaveral, and in the wake of mechanical and logistical problems, there’s a chance that the launch could be postponed until autumn.
