Trm (Noun)
Meaning
The coordinated universal time when a transmission is sent from Earth to a spacecraft or other celestial body.
Classification
Nouns denoting time and temporal relations.
Examples
- Mission control carefully recorded the TRM to synchronize the data transmission with the Mars rover's scheduled communication window.
- The TRM of the transmission was crucial in determining if the signal would reach the spacecraft during its designated communication period.
- To ensure successful communication, engineers verified the TRM of the outgoing transmission to match the receiver's expected window for signal reception.
- Calculating the correct TRM was essential for the success of deep space missions where signal delays could be significant.
- NASA kept track of the TRM for every transmission sent to the Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter, accounting for the delayed reception time due to vast distance.
