ship-to-ground
From vessel earthward
Ship-to-ground describes communication, weapons, or other systems operating from a vessel—especially a spacecraft or aircraft—to a surface below.
The term appears in military and aerospace contexts: ship-to-ground missiles, ship-to-ground radio contact.
It parallels formations like air-to-ground and contrasts with ground-to-ship.
