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.

12:00am Delays.

One of the power supplies on the SAS rack is not working. We are warming up the test enclosure so we can power down the spacecraft so we can look at the SAS rack. Tom believes a diode in the rack is blown and needs to test it. We are also going to use the external power supply to power the HGAS heaters.

After we check it out, we will resume with the Diviner mapping. This is delaying the FSW kernel upload and DSB testing. I'm sure it won't start until the morning. Stay tuned.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
