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.

T-Vac Status 12/9 @4:15p

Here’s the status @ 4:15pm.

TC-126 Payload Functional 2:32a-9:25a

Dump SSR 9:25a-11a

TC-127 LAMP Functional 11a-12:03p

Star Tracker EEPROM Dump 12:06p -12:30p

TC-128 DLRE Functional 12:38p – 1:42p

TC-119 LOLA CPT # 7 1:58p – 4:09p

After the LOLA test is done, we will dump the SSR and then we are waiting on LEND to get to cold operational balance. Charles hopes we will be done with this around 10pm tonight. That means that Sim #30 will start around midnight.

Note: The sim is earlier than on previous versions of the schedule because there's a 24 hour wait at the beginning of the transition. In reality, the whole transitions takes about 24 hours. As soon as we configure for transition we will begin Sim #30. There is a plan to move the MRF calibration to before the transition configuration. Sorry for the confusion.
