The Framing Camera (FC) is a multispectral CCD imager in a refracting telescope that also serves as optical navigation camera for the NASA Dawn mission to the asteroids 4 Vesta and 1 Ceres. The camera consists of two identical units, FC1 and FC2, which are mounted side-by-side on the +Z deck of the spacecraft. FC1 and FC2 each have a 1024x1024 pixel CCD, and filters include one broadband and seven narrow-band filters from 438-965 nm.
