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.

Changes from 4pm.

Run the MRF Hot Soak tests TC-167 thru TC-170.

We are waiting for the SAS to get to hot op balance. Hopefully it will be there when we finish the MRF testing.

After SAS is at balance, drive the ITP to Hot Soak temps.

Once ITP is at Hot Soak temps, run Ka functional (8hr) and then the S-band functional (6 hrs)

In parallel, we are waiting for LEND to get to Hot op balance, maybe around midnight?

Once LEND gets to balance, we will configure the chamber for Hot Soak.

Once LEND gets to hot soak, we can run the instrument testing.

You will note I put no times on anything. ;-) At the bottom of the blog is the updated schedule.

"I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test" - D.Bowie
