About the name

Count down to zero. Then the clock flips. Everything after that is T-plus.

T-PLUS is the time after launch.

In launch control, the clock counts down to liftoff: T-minus 10, 9, 8. At zero the sign flips and the clock starts counting up. T-plus 1 second, T-plus 2. Events on a flight are timed against that clock.

01 Why the name

Our stories start after zero.

A countdown is about waiting. T-PLUS is about what happens next: the seconds after a launch, a failure, a discovery or a decision, when the clock is running and there is no going back. That is where every T-PLUS story lives.

We retell true events from space history, second by second, in true-scale 3D. You are inside the moment, and the mission clock keeps running.
