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.

TC-177: Going Cold

We completed TC-174: the DSB Memory Test at 1:38p.

Started going cold around 2pm. Hope to get to cold soak sometime tomorrow night. Anywhere between 9p-2a.

We have powered on LROC so the MOC can run the background images while they check out more flight procedures. We transferred commanding to the MOC at 3p.

When MRF gets to 18deg C, we will pause the MOC activities to run the MRF calibration, TC-181.
