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.

LRO SIM # 18 (Nominal Monthly Station Keeping) Starting Up

The Orbiter is being controlled from the MOC and the ATS is being uploaded. For reference the SIM #18 Test Script is in 451-SER-002738 and the actual ATS load is SC_2009187_0038_A_VO2 (which folks in Overflow can obtain from Oscar in ACS). ATS load will take approximately another 45 minutes and the entire SIM is about 10 hours long.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. - Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
