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.

Status Update at the Wee Hour of 1:30am on 12/12/08

The S-Band Functional (TC-164) which was started at 5:00pm was completed at 11:40pm on 12/11.

Following this we took a little break to clean up some sockets to the instrument sites, go over some STOL procedures, and await the full complement of instrumenter’s to be present.

At 12:40am, we started the Payload Integrated Functional (TC-162). This Functional is expected to take at least 7 hours which should put the completion time around first shift.
