| has gloss | deu: Der Countdown (seltener: Count-down) (engl. „herunterzählen“, „das Zurückzählen“) ist die getaktete (kurz vor dem Ende im Sekundentakt) Bekanntgabe der bis zum Eintreten eines bestimmten Ereignisses (z. B. Abschuss einer Rakete, Jahreswechsel etc.) noch fehlenden Zeitspanne. Formal angegeben wird der Zeitpunkt des Ereignisses mit T, die noch fehlende Zeitspanne mit t (z. B. 10 min), sodass Durchsagen wie „T minus 10 Minuten“ entstehen. In der Regel wird der Countdown still durchgeführt und nur während der letzten Sekunden vor dem Start laut gezählt. |
