vehicle re-entry

Vehicle re-entry refers to the process of bringing a spacecraft or space vehicle back into Earth's atmosphere after a space mission. It involves carefully reducing the vehicle's speed and controlling its descent to survive the intense heat and pressure generated by atmospheric friction. This is typically achieved through heat shields that absorb and dissipate heat, and navigational adjustments to ensure a safe landing. Overall, re-entry is a critical phase where engineering precision ensures the vehicle and its occupants (if any) return safely from space.
