LRO Alive and Well Connected!
The spacecraft Trendup proc was successfully completed a little before 3pm. This verified we have a healthy Orbiter post shipment. Telemetry flowed successfully to the MOC during the test and after the completion of the test the commanding capability from the MOC to the Orbiter here at Astrotech was successfully verified. We are back in the saddle...
LRO in out of the weather at last
Yesterday afternoon the Orbiter was moved inside Building 2 at Astrotech. The battery was charged last night and we are headed for a power-up today.

LRO Passes Pre-Ship Review! Feb 10, 2009
Below is the message from the PSR Review Team Lead:
"The LRO Mission successfully completed their Pre Ship Review on February 10, 2009. The spacecraft will be sent to KSC tomorrow to begin launch processing. As expected work remains in order to be ready for the upcoming Flight Readiness Review. However, the Board was impressed by the thorough presentation and the small number of remaining issues. LRO seems fully prepared to support the remaining activities and complete a successful launch."
