MRO
Maintaining operational assets
MRO is an abbreviation with several common meanings depending on context.
In business and aviation, it stands for maintenance, repair, and operations—the supplies and activities that keep facilities and equipment running: The company spent millions on MRO costs last year.
In programming, MRO means method resolution order, describing how a language searches class hierarchies.
In space exploration, MRO is NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
