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.

TB-23: We have achieved hot balance at 12:00 noon.

Per Charles, we are claiming victory as of 12pm today. We still have to wait another 4hrs before we can begin to flood the shroud with LN2. It will take the chamber folks 7-8hrs to get the chamber ready for TB-25: Hot Orbit Transient test. So we are predicting an 11p-12a start of TB-25. Lucky 3rd shifters will get all the excitement tonight.
