Spacecraft Event Time (Noun)
Meaning
The coordinated universal time on board the spacecraft; "SCET = TRM + OWLT".
Classification
Nouns denoting time and temporal relations.
Examples
- The flight engineer calculated the spacecraft_event_time to precisely schedule the critical engine burns for the mission.
- Spacecraft_event_time played a crucial role in coordinating the onboard clocks with ground control for real-time synchronization.
- Duty operators were trained to carefully record the spacecraft_event_time for every significant event during the space mission.
- When errors occurred, investigators relied on the spacecraft_event_time to properly reconstruct the sequence of events leading to system failures.
- Recording accurate spacecraft_event_time enabled mission control to execute efficient data transmissions and maintain communication with the spacecraft.
