We are currently running the CRaTER functional test. This is the first of our post-environmental CPT tests. CPT testing will be performed through the first full week in January. We will run the LROC functional after the completion of the CRaTER testing today.
The next four days will be dedicated to propulsion testing.

LRO in the Cleanroom.
We removed the orbiter from the Thermal Vac Chamber on Monday 12/22 and got it back into the cleanroom.

I want to wish all of you the happiest of holidays, you all deserve this and much more! It was four years ago today that our Instruments were selected and we quite literally shown the starting gate as the MS Project stopwatch clicked to life. It has been a tough run with steep hills and sometimes confusing terrain but the LRO Team has become legendary for our endurance and perseverance. And now the final hilltop is in sight! Catch your breath this holiday season and together we'll press to the finish this spring.
And in keeping with our BLOG traditions I offer you these quotes that caught my fancy
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. ~Dr. Seuss
Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. ~Augusta E. Rundel
Santa is very jolly because he knows where all the bad girls live. ~Dennis Miller
People can't concentrate properly on blowing other people to pieces if their minds are poisoned by thoughts suitable to the twenty-fifth of December. ~Ogden Nash
