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.

MOC MRF and MOC again

We ran MOC procedures (TC-178) from 4:00-5:15PM. The Mini-RF dual bore temperatures fell to 18C and we ran the MRF Calibration (TC-181) from 5:15-7:00PM.

We have turned commanding back over to the MOC to continue TC-178. We think that it will run another few hours before we will turn on some instruments (TC-179) including LAMP, CRaTER, Diviner and LOLA.

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else. Will Rogers (1879 - 1935).
