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 Lro payload instruments have been powered off

As of 4:30 PM today, 11/06/2008, all LRO Payload Instruments were powered off. We are in the process of dumping data, returning the thermal vacuum chamber to ambient temperature and pressure. This process will continue until early in the morning. We expect to be able to enter the chamber after lunch tomorrow 11/7/2008, to start the reconfiguring of the orbiter, EGSE and blanketing for the Thermal Vacuum Cycling test.
