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 Launch Status 4:27pm

LRO has been switched to 2kbps EELV Telemetry. This was our last telecommand to the spacecraft prior to launch. All systems are green. We continue to watch the weather in hopes the RED condition clears for launch. The countdown continues and we are at L - 00:42:20. We transition to internal (battery) at L-11 min.
