Acronym List for Space and Astronomy
As of 2006 May 4
This list is offered as a reference for translating commonly appearing
acronyms in the space-related newsgroups. If I forgot or botched your
favorite acronym, please let me know! Also, if there's an acronym not
on this list that confuses you, drop me a line, and if I can figure it
out, I'll add it to the list.
The canonical version of this list is the HTML form, available at
http://tla.surly.org/ . From that, I generate the text form for USENET
posting.
Note that this is intended to be a reference for frequently seen
acronyms, and is most emphatically not encyclopedic. If I incorporated
every acronym I ever saw, I'd soon run out of disk space. :-)
The list will be posted at regular intervals, every 30 days. All
comments regarding it are welcome; I'm reachable at tla@
surly.org.
NOTE: Due to the high level of spam I receive, you must include the
text "tla" in the Subject header of your e-mail, or I will never see
your message.
