Does anyone have any news as to when the LRO will move into it's mission orbit? I assume it depends on how all the instruments are checking out, and as far as I've read, everything seems to have been working great so far. I've read in the press kit that the commissioning orbit could last up to 60 days, but I figured it could turn out to be less then that if everything is going well.

FWIW, according to the trajectory files at http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/downloads.html (LRO_Mission_Baseline_Ephemeris_v10), they should already be in a 53x48 km orbit today (Aug. 10). Not a tweet on that score at http://twitter.com/lro_NASA though. -------------------- |
