LRO Status – Hardware Changes Since <strong>MOR</strong><br />

• Two Significant Changes to the <strong>Orbiter</strong> since <strong>MOR</strong><br />

– Solar Array Gimbal thermal design changes implemented to lower<br />

unexpectedly high temperatures seen in T-Vac<br />

Radiator added & thermal blankets modified<br />

Solar Array off-pointing (30 deg.) now planned during peak<br />

power/temperature environments. Implemented via existing off-set<br />

capability.<br />

– LEND Flight Unit replaced with spare to resolve problems with high<br />

voltage discharge, and subsequent internal LEND damage, seen in T-<br />

Vac.<br />

No significant operational impacts, some LEND thermistor calibration curves<br />

will be modified after LOI.<br />
