Abstract
Getting into orbit is difficult, but getting back down again safely is one of the trickiest aspects of spaceflight. As space agencies and commercial players set their sights on the Moon, Mars and beyond, they need to know they can depend on a safe return. Re-entry is perhaps the most terrifying and low-tech part of space travel.
