For a Few Howardites More: Grand Maps the Elemental Composition of VestaDawn?s Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND) successfully completed Low Altitude Mapping Orbit (LAMO) at Vesta. Over four months were spent acquiring data in a 460-km radius orbit around Vesta (265-km mean radius). In LAMO, strong signatures from Vesta were observed for gamma rays and neutrons. We present preliminary abundances, detection limits, and global maps of the elemental composition of Vesta.
