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.

And we wait.....

If you have been through balance tests before, you know the agony of the "wait". Some have estimated that it could take us until tomorrow morning to achieve balance. Once we get to balance, we need to wait for 4 hours to make sure we're really there. (Very zen-like if you ask me.)

The driver is the propulsion module.

Almost forgot... Happy Launch Day!
