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.

more pre-TB testing

This morning we have performed some more fun pre-testing with:

LROC collimator (TB-03) , to determine that it's in the right place and pointed in the right direction, we took some really cool NAC images.

We also inadvertently power-cycled the lead TC workstation, which has some really interesting effects. This activity has not been assigned a TB number.

We have finally run the DLRE soak scan (TB-02) cleanly all the way through.

We have started executing the LOLA / LR CPT (TB-06).

We are still shooting for door closure on Saturday at 2PM.
