Houston, this is Columbia,... we have Acronym Overload, I repeat, Acronym
Overload... please advise.
In article <1641BARRY@RICEVM1> BARRY@RICEVM1.BITNET writes stuff with too
many acronyms. Some of them I knew but could someone else fill in the
rest:
OMS-{1,2} - Orbiter (? Orbital) Maneuvering System (This was a guess)
MECO - ?
TAL - ?
RCS-1 - ?

"The Mars mission won't be cheap -- the cost is currently estimated at
$400 billion, not including reality -- but the potential benefits are
enormous. For openers, we will earn as a nation, more than 500 million
Frequent Flyer miles."

OMS is Orbiter Maneuvering System (your guess was correct). MECO is Main Engine Cut Off, an event in launch and ascent proceedings. I don't know the other two off-hand, but I have them in my collection of postings at home... if nobody has answered by the time I'm next on, I'll post answers to the other two. ============================================================================ Murray S.
