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.

TC-15 Barker Command Test completed

At 8:15PM, this evening, the C&DH reset as per the Barker Command Test, TC-15. We started the recovery process and it has taken a little longet thaen was expected. Mostly minor porblems that were handeled in a reasonably efficient manner, but it still has taken longer then expected.

We are not yet ready to move on to TC-18 Hot Transition Complete or orbiter hot start, TC-19.

We are about an hour behind our predicted schedule
