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.

More Predictions…

The LEND Functional (TC-45) has just completed ahead of schedule and the anticipated LROC testing is temporarily on hold awaiting thermal conditions to just be right. The thermal team believes that this might take up to two hours?

Following this is some SSR management and the Orbiter Trending (TC-52).

The Mini-RF Calibration Activity (TC-54) is expected to commence around midnight once the battery is up to 33.6 and instrument support will be on hand.
