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.

Power Up Starting @ 7:30pm

Bob to the rescue. We had some problems with people getting here because of the snow. (Yes, I know its not sticking.) We had to call on Bob I. to come bail us out.

My guess is we will start with TC-100, DLRE Mapping activity around 8:30pm. That means that the FSW Kernel load should happen around 3am and the DSB test should start around 5:30am.

"through me you enter into the city of woes
through me you enter into eternal pain,
through me you enter the population of loss.
. . .
abandon all hope, you who enter here." from Dante's Inferno
