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.

LRO Status 2/16/2009

The Orbiter was configured for the Orbiter Functional Test scheduled for tomorrow beginning at 7am. We will shortly fire the SAS NEAs, perform the HGAS Pop&Catch, walk HGAS down and reinstall the HGA Hat-Coupler, and configure the GDS. This will complete the preparations for tomorrow.

The link (click the title) with this posting will take you to a KSC page that inlcudes video feed from Astrotech where LRO is.
