Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mission Operations Review (MOR ...

LRO Readiness – PM Perspective
• The LRO TC\FLT
Controllers have been
operating the Orbiter
beginning with the
board level testing of
each of the LRO
subsystems.
• This table illustrates
the depth of
experience we have
with the critical
functions and
operations of the LRO
spacecraft.
• We have been honing
our skills in the
operation of LRO
throughout the entire
development and I&T
phase of our mission.
• LRO Project
Management is
completely confident
that we know how to fly
and operate LRO.
