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.

The Orbiter Functional has begun.

Terminated the LROC B/G Imaging at 11:52 pm which was started in TC-189 at 9:30 pm.

Completed TC-190, LROC Collimator Test, from 11:53 pm – 12:06 am.
Completed TC-191, Dump SSR Recorder, from 12:07 am – 1:15 am.

Started TC-193, Orbiter Functional, at 1:17 am.

The functional is estimated to take about 18 hours which would place its completion time around 7 pm tonight. Following this is the Orbiter Trending, TC-193, which takes approximately 1 hour. This being said, if all goes well, we should be able to start transitioning HOT around 8 pm or so tonight.
