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-79: CRaTER Functional

We finished the RWA spin down test at 11 pm. We paused the CRaTER functional to wait for the spin down test to finish. Now we can start the CRaTER Coincidence Mask proc which takes 6-8hrs.

Dumped the SSR at 10:50pm.

Change of plans: After the CRaTER Coincidence Mask proc is done, we will run the Orbiter Trending proc before the LEND functional. We think the CRaTER proc will end a few hours earlier than advertised so this will put the start of the LEND test somewhere between 7a-9a on Sunday morning.

Still on track for Sim 27 & 17 to start Monday morning at 8am.
