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 Successfully Completed!

SIM #18 (TC-32) concluded at about 6pm today. Overall it was very successful. As was its purpose a number of changes and improvements to the set-up procedures and the flight RTSs and the ATS were identified and captured in SOARS. Congratulations and thanks to all who made the simulation a success. We are now headed to Cold Soak with TC-33 thru TC-37 being executed during the transition.
