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.

Payload Functional Complete, Mini-RF Source Horn Test in Progress

Payload Functional wrapped up nominally at around 20:30, and we started the Mini-RF Source Horn Test rerun around 21:00.

Mini-RF Free-radiate test probably begins around 22:00.

Looking good to complete Mini-RF testing and Orbiter Trending prior to Safing Round 2, which is currently planned for a 4:00 AM startup.
