What Does TP Stand For?
TP stands for Time To Perigee
TP, or Time To Perigee, refers to the time remaining until a celestial body, such as a satellite or an asteroid, reaches its closest approach to Earth or another gravitational body in its elliptical orbit. This metric is crucial for orbital calculations, mission planning, and trajectory analysis in astrodynamics, allowing for effective monitoring and management of orbital objects.
