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.

T-Vac Status - 11/3/08 @ 11:00am

Thermal declared survival balance at 10:30am this morning. We are currently in our 4 hour wait. Survival balance should be complete at 2:30pm, TB-36 will finally be done.

At that time, we will move onto TB-37 and TB-38 which will configure for and perform the propulsion cold fire test. TB-37 & TB-38 is expected to take ~5 hrs


Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
