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.

C&DH Hardware test is underway

We completed the Software Controlled Heater test at Noon today 1/4/2009. After about 30 min. of clean up and reconfiguration, we started the C&DH Hardware Test; this should take about 4 hours, finishing up at 4:30 PM. After which we will run the Orbiter Trending Test for 2 hours, and then the C&DH DSB Memory Test, which will require another 8 hours, finishing up around 2:00 AM. So the start of the MINI RF Test is currently estimated to be 2:00 AM, tomorrow morning 1/5/2009.
