They use a vehicle with a heavily heat insulated underside. The heat shield protects them from the intense heat generated from the friction of passing through the atmosphere, which also acts as a brake.
Further down they rely on more traditional aerodynamic features. The Space Shuttle used wings, and landed as a (very poor) aircraft, other craft use parachutes for the final descent.

It will go to space and come back to earth in 2 years.
When you come back from space do you have to learn how to walk?
Yes, astronauts need time to adjust to gravity upon returning from space. Referred to as "space adaptation syndrome," it can include issues with balance and muscle strength. Through rehabilitation and physical conditioning, astronauts gradually regain their ability to walk.
What do astronauts have to say about Earth?

Why astronaut weigh less when they come back to earth?
When astronauts are floating in space due to the weightlessness effect their hearts do not have to work as hard to circulate blood and not as much blood is required to maintain their blood pressure. To compensate for this their bodies expel excess fluids while they're up there.
