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 11/20 @2:20p

We are still running the CRaTER functional. Started at 9am so we should be done around 9pm.

We've switched up the order some.
TC-49 Prop Catbed Heater Test has been completed. It was run in parallel with the CRaTER functional.

After TC-47, the CRaTER functional, we will run TC-44 (LROC Background Imaging); TC-45 (LEND functional); TC-48 (LROC Collimator test); TC-50 (Stop LROC B/G Imaging); and then we should be back on track.

We are going to TC-58 (Prop Catbed Heater Test @high voltage) @ 12 midnight. It can be run in parallel with whatever we're doing.
