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.

FSW Memory Upload Complete (TC-101)

TC-101, Memory upload is complete. We are moving on to the C&DH DSB Test.(TC-102) This test takes about 4 hours. At that point we will have been at hard vacuum (less than 10-5 torr) for over 24 hours, so we can drop through the 24 hour hold for pressure stablization (TC-103), and go directly into Preparation for Cold Balance (TC-104), which takes 6 hours.
