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.

Plan for tonight.

We are currently going to ambient temperature. Current estimate is we will get there around midnight. Sometime tonight, when the shroud gets to -10 to 0 deg, we will power down the spacecraft. After we get to ambient temperature, we will begin to backfill the chamber which could take another 8 hours. That means, we could be ready to open the chamber door by 8a-9a Friday morning.

8am tag up in B7 Rm246 to go over the ToDo List. Use the normal meet-me telecon number if you can't make it.
