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.

Hot Soak #2 declared at 6:00AM Saturday

Hot Soak #2 was declared at 6AM. We have performed TC-71 (termination).
TC-72 (Payload integrated functional) is scheduled for sometime after 8AM to ensure that the instrument teams are on console.

We completed TC-73 (LROC Collimator) and TC-74 (LROC Functional). We started TC-75 (LROC Background Imaging) and in parallel are starting TC-77 (CSS Functional).

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.
