This blog follows the progress of the LRO mission through Integration and Testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and launch site processing at KSC\Astrotech. Its purpose is to enable communication to the entire LRO Team about the status of ongoing activities.

LRO was launched June 18th, 2009 at 5:32pm EDT from KSC. This BLOG will follow the progress of the mission as LRO travels to the Moon and establishes orbit around it.

This BLOG will be periodically updated during LRO's early mission but as the nominal mission unfolds the official NASA LRO website and the LRO Science Instrument's own websites will evolve into a more interesting sources of LRO science results as postings appear there first and LRO engineering and operations (source of this site) will become increasingly routine.

All Instruments happily powered in balance configuration

As part of TB-23, all 6 Instruments are powered and in their nominal balance configuration.  All Instruments quiet and happily gathering data.

To the Instrument teams who have traveled to support testing -  for you the testing will stay quiet through the morning and afternoon. However, the evening and overnight shifts on Tuesday will probably be pretty active with the hot lunar transient test.

I recommend coming in later on Tues and be prepared to stay through at least the first orbit of the lunar transient test.
