What Does TR Stand For?
TR stands for Time To Retrofire
TR, or Time To Retrofire, refers to the specific duration calculated to execute a retrofiring maneuver in space missions. This critical timeframe is essential for spacecraft operations, ensuring that the vehicle slows down or changes its orbit at the appropriate moment, thereby enabling safe re-entry or the achievement of designated orbital parameters. Effective management of TR is vital for mission success and spacecraft safety.
