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.

T-Vac Update: LROC Data Flow Problem Overcome!

WOA-02185 was successfully completed with 12 hours of LRO/LROC operation with no LROC data loss or interruptions. This verified the FSW patch works.

The test is being followed by a LROC WAC test "lr-testwac.proc" run at various exposure settings per LROC request as the opportunity presented itself to do this this evening.

T-Vac instrumentation work continued through the evening with completion projected for late tomorrow at the earliest.
