reentry vehicles

Reentry vehicles are specialized devices designed to safely bring objects, such as satellites or spacecraft, back into Earth's atmosphere from space. They are built to withstand extreme heat and pressure caused by re-entering the atmosphere at high speeds. Once inside, they follow a controlled descent path to ensure they land safely or reach their intended target area. Reentry vehicles are used for returning scientific samples, space capsules with astronauts, or military reconnaissance payloads. Their design focuses on thermal protection, stability, and precise targeting to achieve safe, controlled reentry.
