{ra'ghom} doesn't appear in any dictionaries yet. But if you work back from
the components of {ra'ghomquv} and look at the original English, I think
it's not too hard to figure out the intent.
{ra'ghomquv} looks like {ra'} "command (v)", {ghom} "group", and {quv} "be
honored", so it means something like "honored command group". Presumably
it's some holdover from an archaic way of forming compound words. {quv} is
a usual Klingon way of describing the most important of something (for
instance, {vutwI' quv} "head chef").
Without the {quv}, then, {ra'ghom} suggests a command group, though not the
most important commanders involved (who, in the case of the Apollo mission,
are probably back in Houston). In other words, {ra'ghom} means "command" in
the sense of "a group of officers exercising control over a particular
group or operation".
