It may be controlled entry (or reentry) of a spacecraft that can be navigated or follow a predetermined course. Methods for controlled atmospheric entry, descent, and landing of spacecraft are collectively termed as EDL.

A reentry capsule is the portion of a space capsule which returns to Earth following a spaceflight. The shape is determined partly by aerodynamics ; a capsule is aerodynamically stable falling blunt end first, which allows only the blunt end to require a heat shield for atmospheric entry .
The space agency stresses the point of reentry is not certain, but it's not something you need to worry about. ... Weather. 24/7 Help. ... 15:41 UTC (16:41 CET) today, 21 February 2024 ...
The research team is particularly interested in the 70–40-kilometer (43–25 mi) altitude range of the SpaceX "reentry burn" on the Falcon 9 Earth-entry tests as this is the "powered flight through the Mars-relevant retropulsion regime" that models Mars entry and descent conditions, [9] although SpaceX is of course interested also in the ...
It was by far Starship's most successful orbital test to date, with the vehicle actually reaching orbit for the first time and beginning its fiery reentry through the Earth's atmosphere before ...
The upper stage made a controlled reentry to Earth, landing in the Indian Ocean at about 9:30 a.m. ET. Starship reentered Earth's atmosphere and landed in the ocean. SpaceX
The spacecraft came through the hellish heat of re-entry in relatively good condition, protected by improved heat-shield tiles and beefed-up steering fins that worked as needed while engulfed in a ...
HRSI was primarily designed to withstand transition from areas of extremely low temperature (the void of space, about −270 °C or −454 °F) to the high temperatures of re-entry (caused by interaction, mostly compression at the hypersonic shock, between the gases of the upper atmosphere & the hull of the Space Shuttle, typically around 1,600 ...
