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.

Status 11/12 @10:30am

Yesterday we completed the FSW load and the C&DH FSW Functional. We also dumped the ST1 EEPROM and uploaded a correction to the two corrupted words. ST1 was rebooted and it seems to be operating nominally now. Hurray!

Today we have installed an ITOS patch to correct some bugs and allows everyone to monitor GDS telemetry. Currently, we are running the GN&C FSW functional. After that, the plan is to run the FSW Stress test and then orbiter trending. We think this will take the rest of the day.

Tomorrow (11/13) the plan is:
LEND functional - no source. (8a-11a)
LROC Collimator Test. (11a-3p)
Install LEND radiation source. (3p-3:30p)
Close Chamber Door (4p-5p)
Run MRF Calibration & Amplitude tests (3p-5p)
Run LEND test - with source (5p-9p)
Run LOLA and LR CPT series. (9p-2a)
Run LOLA part of the Payload Functional (2a-4a)

Friday (11/14);
Start Launch Day Proc (5a-7a)
7a Configure for Pump Down
8a Start Pump Down.
