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.

Updated Current Prediction

As it would seem, the instruments dropped out of hot soak since they were powered down. This means that the Payload Integrated Functional (TC-25) will be delayed. (Hopefully we can start this within an hour or so from now?)

Meanwhile we are inserting a quick Mini-RF test.


Once we start the Payload Integrated Functional, we can re-estimate the start time for the Mission Simulation #18. (However, at this tie it would seem that it will be delayed by maybe 3 hours and start closer to midnight.)
