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.

Our plan is to run the 28 hour Barker Command Test (TC-15), unless..........

Our Plan is to start running the 28 hour Barket Command Test, (TC-15), as of 5:00 PM this evening. This means that there will be no commands sent to the Orbiter until 8:00 PM tomorrow, 11/15/2008, unless we run into thermal problems with the Orbiter configuration. If this happens and we have to send some commands to the orbiter, the 28 hour silence period must be restarted, in which case we may elect to halt the Barker Command Test(with the intent of re-running it later), and move on to the Orbiter Hot Soak Tests.
