Outer space re-entry refers to the process of a spacecraft returning to Earth's atmosphere after being in space. During re-entry, the spacecraft faces extreme heat and friction due to the high speeds at which it enters the atmosphere, requiring specialized heat shields to protect it. The goal is to safely slow down the spacecraft and bring it back to Earth for a controlled landing.

What was the name of the first winged flight into outer space and back?
The first winged flight into outer space and back was conducted by the Space Shuttle Columbia during the STS-1 mission, which launched on April 12, 1981. This mission marked the inaugural flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program, successfully demonstrating the shuttle's capability to reach low Earth orbit and return safely to Earth. The shuttle's unique design allowed for controlled reentry and landing like an airplane.
Is the moon located in outer space?
That depends on what you mean by "outer space". The moon is outside the Earth's atmosphere and therfore "in space" but it is orbiting the Earth and therfore hardly "outer".
When was They Came from Outer Space created?
They Came from Outer Space was created on 1990-10-01.
When was Flying Saucers from Outer Space created?
Flying Saucers from Outer Space was created in 1953.
How is volume and outer space related?
No, they are properties of matter. Outer space has the properties it has because it has little to no matter.
What is the first layer of the atmosphere that an astronaut passes through during reentry from space?
The first layer of the atmosphere that an astronaut passes through during reentry from space is the thermosphere. This is where the spacecraft encounters extreme heat due to friction with the air molecules, leading to a visible glowing effect known as reentry plasma.
What year did space shuttle Columbia break apart on reentry?
Space shuttle Columbia broke apart on reentry on February 1, 2003.
What do you call the communication gap in the final stage of reentry from space?
They are known as radio blackouts, ionization blackouts, or reentry blackouts.
Which space shuttle exploded 2003 on reentry into earth's atmosphere?
The space shuttle that exploded upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere in 2003 was the Space Shuttle Columbia. The disaster resulted in the loss of all seven crew members on board.
Which space shuttle failed?
Space Shuttle Challenger failed during launch. Space Shuttle Columbia failed during reentry.
What were the three phases of space shuttle flight?
lift off orbit reentry
Why do space vehicles have heat shields for reentry into earths atmosphere?
i dont know
Does atmosphere affects the space shuttle?
Atmosphere affects any craft that goes into outer space. On the way out, the shuttle must be able to overcome the friction from the air and on the way back, it must be insulated against the heat.
What is a word for a space?
outer (as in "outer space")
What is the first layer of atmosphere an astronaut passes through when the reentry from space?
The first layer of the atmosphere that an astronaut passes through during reentry from space is the exosphere. This layer is very thin and transitions into the thermosphere, which is where most reentry vehicles begin to experience drag and heating due to interaction with air molecules.
What happened to the on February 1 2003?
on reentry the space shuttle Columbia burned up.
What is Mach 21.8 in mph?
16680 mph or the reentry speed of the space shuttle to our atmoshere.
