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-52 and 53 completed

TC-52 (trending) and TC-53 (Ka-band OFF) have been completed around 1:45. We have begun TC-54 the MRF calibration, which rolls right into TC-55, 56, 57, and 59.

Hopefully, by morning all testing slated for cold soak #2 will be completed, and we'll begin the transition to hot soak #2.

1.21 gigawatts? 1.21 gigawatts? Great Scott!
