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.

A little status update to enjoy with your morning coffee

The LROC Background Imaging Test (TC-75) was completed at 8:00am.

Following this, LEND was a little warm, so the team entered standby mode while giving a little time for LEND and for other instrument support to arrive for the Payload Integrated Functional (TC-72).

Following the wait, the Payload Integrated Functional (TC-72) started promptly at 9:51am.

This functional is scheduled to take about 7 hours at which time the RW Spin Down Test (TC-76) and then the CRaTER Functional (TC-79) are next on the docket.
