... completed. There are some known facts: how fast we are going, how high we are, and where we want to land. This is an energy-versus-range calculation which determines where the deorbit maneuver begins. Generally it is initiated ... . USAF (Ret.) Frederick D. Gregory

... is very stable. It is a miniscule probability that the vehicle would be unable to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. However, if the vehicle is unable to enter the Earth's atmosphere, it would remain in orbit.

... If our re-entry is too steep, the orbiter will overheat and possibly burn up. If the re-entry is too shallow, the orbiter will skip, like a rock on water, off of the atmosphere. Both ... USAF (Ret.) Frederick D. Gregory

... the same here and in space, and we need the same things to survive: food, air, water, and protection from the weather. The critical technologies needed in space are those that provide these necessities—like the capsule that holds in the air ...
The orbiter is protected during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere by a very complex heat shield made up of thermal insulation and carbon ceramic tiles. This heat shield insulates the aluminum structure and keeps it from melting. "Ball of fire" is a good description of the air around the spacecraft. The kinetic energy at the tremendous re-entry speed causes the air to heat ...
