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.

Status 10/25 @3:45pm

We have completed the fixes to the test heater circuits and have placed the LEND test radiation source in the chamber. The chamber door is closed!!!

We have completed the DS filter table load and successfully retested RTS 86. Currently, we are running the LEND long functional test. After the LEND test, we will complete the dry run of the LROC background procs. We did one of the six already. We also need to run the Lunar Eclipse, and the emergency power off procs.

I think we are good for tomorrow morning.
