Reentry Trajectories

Reentry Trajectories is a class of spacecraft flight trajectories that describe the controlled passage from orbital or superorbital conditions into a planetary atmosphere to the surface or a lower-energy state, specifically characterized by the intentional use of aerodynamic forces to dissipate kinetic energy while satisfying thermal, structural, and targeting constraints.
