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.

TB-49, -50, -52, -53 all complete; waiting to transition to ambient temp

All cold soak testing is complete:

TB49 Orbiter Trending
TB50 LROC Fill imaging
TB52 Ka-Comm Functional
TB53 LROC Cold Soak imaging

We're ready to move onto the transition to ambient temperature as soon as we hear from Galileo via E-mail about the Star Tracker anomaly. Diviner anomaly from previous evening has been resolved.  Currently performing a special Mini-RF calibration while wait to hear from Galileo.
