The Dawn Program is the first initiative launched by the AARA. The primary goals of the Dawn Program are to test and research several core systems in preparation for future programs.
Testing
The testing phase of the Dawn Program will individually test the researched systems, eventually culminating in a test launch of a rocket incorporating these systems.
