Best Answer

T is for TIME, and the minus is the amount of time left before takeoff. If you say T minus two, and TIME is 0830, it is 0828. "Holding" is another term meaning the countdown has stalled usually due to a technical problem. T minus 2 and holding in this case would mean 0828 and countdown has paused until problem is resolved.

What does t plus mean?

T plus (or T minus) usually refers to a specified time, plus or minus however many minutes. So for example, when NASA launches the space shuttle, they have very specific launch times calculated down to the minute - 07:43 AM. So instead of referring to that specific time, when it may be sensitive information anyway, they refer to it as "T-time". Knowing this we can say that T plus 10 minutes is 07:53 AM, and T minus 10 minutes is 07:33 AM.
