<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>NAIF does not have an operations role with regard to LRO (or LCROSS, for that matter); SPICE implementation, deployment and operations for LRO are handled entirely by NASA/GSFC. (For LCROSS, NASA/Ames has operations responsibilities.)<BR>
<BR>
As GSFC prepares each incremental LRO SPICE archive delivery these will come to NAIF for peer review and subsequent entry into the NAIF node archive system, available to all. The first incremental archive delivery is scheduled for Launch + 8 months. Subsequent deliveries are expected every 4 months.<BR>
