Requirements placed on entry vehicles by advanced missions involving maneuvering entry from near-earth orbit and earth entry on return from manned Mars mission; vehicles with lift-drag ratios near unity are found attractive; results from studies of aerodynamic and heat-transfer characteristics of M-2 lifting body are applied to analysis of maneuverable entry vehicles; heat-shield studies are combined with other results to estimate effects of crew size and volume on entry-vehicle weight.
