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.

PDE functional

We have completed the ACS Phasing Test, the RW functional, and we are completing the last portion of the PDE functional. We had to power-down to disconnect the GDS for this portion of the test. We will have to power-down to reconnect the GDS, then power-up and execute the sctrending.

This puts the GCE HW functional some time around 5:00AM (duration of 4 hours).
