Astronauts mostly just have to tolerate the G-forces and put up with them until the re-entry stresses are over. They sit in cushioned chairs, which helps them.

Returning to earth through the atmosphere is called?
Re-entry. Kind of anticlimactic, isn't it?
What do astronauts search for in Venus?
What scientist and astronauts search for is mainly signs of life. To see if you can live on any of the planets. THANK YOU
Which planets have astronauts not been on?
At the moment, Astronauts cannot go to any planet but Earth.
Do astronauts sleep in space?
Yes, they do.
Can astronauts travel to distant planets in the solar system?
They could, but as of now, no astronauts have travelled to any other planets in the solar system.
Where did the astronauts stay during launch and reentry in Apollo?
The astronauts stayed in the command module during launch and reentyry to earth. As it has a tiles that prevent the craft from over heating during reentry.
Did the shuttle columbia's astronauts survive?
no, all the astronauts on the final mission of columbia died during reentry.
How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?
In space, there is no gravity to overcome. The chllenge to astronauts is how to deal with the lack of gravity.
How do astronauts reduce the space capsule's speed for reentry into the earth's atmosphere?
Look on Wikipedia unless you know the answer.-Acaheny & Ausia

How many gforces do f1 drivers experience?
Up to 6gs in racing, sometimes more in a crash.
How many g force does the space shuttle pull?
The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
What was the purpose of the space shuttle?
The space shuttle was designed to be a partially manned reusable launch and reentry system, transporting astronauts to and from space. Each shuttle was designed to handle at least 100 missions.
Did the first astronauts have space suits?
Yes, a pressure suit (otherwise known as a space suit) is a fundamental safety feature used on almost all space flights. The Soviets sent a few people up without one, but the United States requires that all its astronauts wear their pressure suit, including their helmet, during launch and reentry. The only U.S. crew that did not wear their helmets during reentry was the Apollo 7 crew. All 3 of them contracted severe head colds while in space. They felt their eardrums might burst due to sinus pressure if they had their helmets on during reentry. NASA administrators did not agree. None of the Apollo 7 astronauts ever flew again
How do you use the word reentry in a sentence?
We are expecting to make reentry in about five minutes. Reentry to that burning house will require courage and concentration.
Why did the astronauts loose contact with nasa in Apollo 13?
The first time they lost contact was because they went to the dark side of the Moon. The second time was the usual reentry time, but Apollo 13's lasted the longest of all.
How heavy were the space suits?
Apollo era suits weighed 245 pounds (or 40 pounds in lunar gravity). Suits used on current space shuttle and space station EVAs weigh 195 pounds but are effectively weighless on astronauts. Suits used by shuttle astronauts during ascent and reentry weigh 80 pounds. Suits used by the Russian Federal Space Agency for the soyuz program during ascent and reentry weigh 20 pounds. Suits used by the Chinese space program for EVAs weigh 260 pounds
