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.

TBr2 Ka Band functional continues

As we enter the second shift on 11/05/2008(1600-2400), the Ka Band Functional Test (TB-52)continues, in parallel with TB-52 were are performing the LROC WAC imaging test and re-running TB-47 RWA run down test.

We expect these activities to take at least 6 hours.
Thermal engineering has advised us that the #1 cold soak requirment has been fullfilled, therefore once we complete the remaing subsystem tests, we can prepare for the transition to ambient temperature and pressure TB55.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
-Alfred lord Tennyson
