The breakup of two satellites (Vehicle Atmospheric Survivability Project) during atmospheric reentry is documented. The satellites were deboosted from orbit, and their subsequent reentries were observed by surface- based radars and optics as well as airborne optics. Numerous pieces of satellite debris were tracked, and, in some cases, their heritage identified. The breakup process substantiated the heating relationships derived from the VAST test, which is an order of magnitude less than traditional heating relationships above an altitude of 30 nmi.
