Re-entry is studied from standpoints of deceleration, heating, and accuracy of impact for speeds consistent with return from near satellite orbits, and with re-entry from circumlunar orbit under several configurations of lift and constant or variable drag coefficient assumptions; it is shown that deceleration and peak heating rates are not larger than those occurring in ballistic re-entries; total heat input, however, is much larger.
