Following the initial LOI burn of LRO on June 23, an additional four burns have been made, to put the probe into the so-called commissioning orbit. I prepared an overview of these burns below; the info comes from the http://lroupdate.blogspot.com/ website.
burn / date / time (EDT) / duration / (polar) orbit LOI-2 / 24-06-2009 / 06:56 / 12 min / 200 x 1680 km LOI-3 / 25-06-2009 / 06:32 / 12 min / 199 x 740 km LOI-4 / 26-06-2009 / 08:25 / 10 min / 200 x 200 km LOI-5 / 27-06-2009 / 08:34 / 4 min / 31 x 199 km About a week and half after reaching the commissioning orbit, the process starts of activating the remaining instruments and start calibrating them. |
