As alluded to in #2890,
Use ordinals (in the linguistic sense, i.e., « 𝑛th manœuvre », rather than cardinals as in « manœuvre number 𝑛 ») as they don’t require any particular logic in Chinese (contrary to English -st -nd -rd -th).
Reworded starting and ending point to starting and ending time when referring to times.
Reworded 加速 to 时间加速 for « [time] warp »; 加速 simply means « accelerate », which is a lot more overloaded here than the original « warp ». 加速至轨道机动起点 « accelerate until manœuvre starting point » could have led to confusion, for which
时间加速至轨道机动开始时刻 « accelerate time until manœuvre starting time » should leave no room.
As a result of the numbering and point-to-time changes
轨道机动终点 #<<1>>
becomes第<<1>>次轨道机动结束时
.@Zaikarion pointed out that the term 时基 « time base » does not mean what we want it to.
Admittedly it is dubious in English to start with, as we are lifting its meaning of « time zero » from some obscure Apollo-Saturn documents. 时基 only has the more common electronics-related sense of « time base ». @Zaikarion suggested 计时起点 « timing start point ».
