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 are continuing to make progress in the pre-simulation preparation for the Mission Rehearsal. These activities are wrapped up into TC-198, although we haven't officially started the MR. We are working our way through some GDS time syncing and epoch state vector issues.

Once we kick off the MR, it is expected to take 24 hrs.

Below is real footage from the pre-simulation process streamed to the MOC :-)
