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.

DIVINER Test and instrument Data completed

As of 9:54 AM today 12/7/2008, we have completed the DIVINER Thermal Mapping Test (TC-100) and we have dumped the memory to recover the instrument data for the DIVINER, NAC and WAC.

The instruments have been turned off in prepration for the memory upload, (TC-101)

We are planning on moving to the Flight software update (TC-101). We need to see if we can get the software folks in early so we can start the s/w upload, right now they are scheduled in here @11:00 AM
