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.

We're Going down

TC-204 Orbital Trending complete 9:29pm

We are configuring Spacecraft for ST OGSE Testing
All instruments off
S-band off (going hard line)
SAS and HGA gimbals off

We will be turning the Spacecraft (1553) over to ST OGSE for test and we
will be transitioning slowly at first while testing is ongoing.

After ST OGSE testing is complete we speed up the transitioning and begin the PDE testing.
