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 July 10-12 Status


The above STK image is of LRO on DOY 193

The LRO Spacecraft continues to perform nominally in its commissioning orbit.

On Friday, we updated the Safing tables and Safing RTSs as was planned prior to launch. Spacecraft ephemeris validation tables, ST and Gyro Cal tables were also uploaded.

With the Mini-RF data collection start on Sunday evening, all instruments have collected or are collecting data.
