Mission to the Moon

Several instruments that will help NASA characterize the Moon's surface have been installed on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO. The powerful equipment will bring the Moon into sharper focus and reveal new insights about the celestial body nearest Earth.
Engineers and technicians on the LRO Integration and Test Team work almost around the clock in a clean room at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to ready the spacecraft for testing and eventual launch later this year.
Four of six instruments have been mated to the spacecraft, with one to be installed soon and one to arrive in the near future.
The satellite is scheduled to launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida, in late 2008 on an Atlas V rocket. It will spend 1 year in low polar orbit on its primary exploration mission, with the possibility of 3 more years to collect additional detailed scientific information about the Moon and its environment. That information will help ensure a safe and productive human return to the Moon.
