In the Space industry context, a traveler typically refers to documentation or a person. When it refers to documentation, it is a set of records accompanying Hardware or Spacecraft components throughout the Manufacturing, testing, and deployment processes. When referring to a person, it describes astronauts or space tourists traveling to and from space.

Deutsch: Behandlung / Español: Tratamiento / Português: Tratamento / Français: Traitement / Italiano: Trattamento

Treatment in the space industry refers to the processes or methods applied to materials, components, or systems to prepare them for use in space applications. This includes enhancing properties like durability, thermal resistance, and radiation shielding or addressing contamination and wear. Treatment is a critical step to ensure the reliability and performance of space systems under extreme environmental conditions.

Deutsch: Dreizack / Español: Tridente / Português: Tridente / Français: Trident / Italian: Tridente

Trident in the Space industry context refers to the NASA mission concept aimed at exploring Neptune's largest moon, Triton. This mission concept focuses on studying the unique characteristics of Triton, including its surface, atmosphere, and potential subsurface Ocean, to gain insights into the formation and Evolution of Celestial bodies in the outer solar system.

Triton is the largest natural satellite of Neptune and it is of significant interest in the aerospace context because of its unique geology, atmosphere and potential for having a subsurface ocean.

Deutsch: Technologiereifegradstufe (TRL) / Español: Nivel de Madurez Tecnológica (TRL) / Português: Nível de Maturidade Tecnológica (TRL) / Français: Niveau de maturité technologique (TRL) / Italiano: Livello di Maturità Tecnologica (TRL) /

TRL stands for Technology Readiness Level. In the aerospace context, TRL is a Scale used to evaluate the maturity and readiness of a technology for a specific application or environment. The TRL scale ranges from TRL 1 (basic principles observed and reported) to TRL 9 (actual system "flight proven" through successful mission operations).

A trolley is a small, wheeled vehicle that is used to transport goods or people from one place to another. In the aerospace context, trolleys are often used to transport equipment, tools, and supplies within an aircraft or aerospace facility.

In the aerospace context, the troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It extends from the Earth's surface up to about 8-20 kilometers (5-12 miles) depending on the location and time of year.
