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.

Launch Day proc starting at 05:00 is still GO

Since last update:

*Mini-RF calibration test completed
*Subset of the GN&C FSW Functional was run (I believe DI and AC)
*LOLA/LR BCE/setup testing per TC-04 currently in progress and going well

Systems call that after LOLA/LR testing completes, the time remaining until the 05:00 start of the Launch Day proc could be better spent on some GDS followup work rather than launching the Payload Functional to confirm the LOLA BCE config, so we decided to passify (to coin a term) on the Payload Functional startup.

To all supporting the 05:00 launch day proc - systems requests that you be on station in overflow at 05:00.
