Through making the reentry vehicle blunt, air can't "get out of the way" quickly enough, and acts as an air cushion to push the shock wave and heated shock layer forward (away from the vehicle). Since most of the hot gases are no longer in direct contact with the vehicle, the heat energy would stay in the shocked gas and simply move around the vehicle to later dissipate into the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Does space shuttle enter the ozone hole?
No. The space shuttle enters and exits closer to the equator. The ozone holes are at the pole that is currently experiencing winter / spring.
What is atmosphere layer including the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is not a basic layer of the atmosphere.Starting at the Earth's surface:tropospherestratosphere (the bottom of which contains most of the "ozone layer")mesospherethermosphereexosphere (which extends into outer space)
What would happen if the ozone layer does not exist?
Life would not exist.The ozone layer is keeping all the gasses from escaping into space. So, without the ozone layer, there would be no oxygen for animals or carbon dioxide for plants.The ozone layer also reflects space radiation and harmful UV rays back into space, preventing them getting into the Earth's atmosphere. If this didn't happen, life would be poisoned and killed by constant radiation and UV blasting.
How do satellites harm the ozone layer?
Satellites themselves do not harm the ozone layer. However, the rockets used to send satellites into space can release exhaust gases that contain ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorine and bromine. Additionally, the use of certain propellants in satellites can also contribute to ozone depletion if released into the atmosphere.
What are the disadvantages of ozone layer?
disadvantages of ozone layer : *harmful to health *smog ozone irritates the lungs *smog ozone can also damage natural building materials *space junk burns up, and goes through the ozone layer
Why does the space shuttle get hot passing through the ozone layer?
It is because of the friction created in atmosphere. The friction and pressure is not only in ozone but overall.
Do spacecraft harm the ozone layer?
No they are in space. No ozone in space.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle travel in?
The space shuttle travels in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is the layer located above the mesosphere. This layer is where temperatures can reach very high levels due to its proximity to space.
Does space shuttle enter the ozone hole?
No. The space shuttle enters and exits closer to the equator. The ozone holes are at the pole that is currently experiencing winter / spring.

When did Space Shuttle Project happen?
Space Shuttle Project happened in 1991.
How is the ozone layer being monitored?
Ozone layer is being monitored by scientists. Satellites are roaming in space for it.
Where did the challenger space shuttle accidents happen?
Space.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
Thermosphere
What is the outer layer of the atmosphere in which the space shuttle flies?
the exosphere.
Can you pass the ozone layer?
Of course you can pass through the ozone layer, how could we get into space. It's just a layer of invisible something-or-not-whatsit-called stuff.
When did Space Shuttle Columbia disaster happen?
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster happened on 2003-02-01.
