Atmospheric reentry
Atmospheric reentry is the process by which vehicles that are outside the
atmosphere of a
planet can enter that atmosphere and reach the planetary surface intact. Vehicles that undergo this process include
spacecraft from
orbit, vehicles coming straight from other space bodies, as well as
suborbital ICBM reentry vehicles. Typically this process requires special methods to protect against
aerodynamic heating. Various advanced technologies have been developed to enable atmospheric reentry and flight at extreme velocities.
