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.

This End Up.




We completed our final ACS Phasing Test and Coarse Sun Sensor Test today. With the final integration of the solar array panels, we were able to perform final testing on the ACS system. We were able to verify that the spacecraft responded correctly to external stimuli.

We also performed an end to end test of the power system which included the solar array panels.

"What's up?" [asked Ford.]
"I don't know," said Marvin, "I've never been there."
