Recovery of space vehicles is divided into four categories all of which are governed by basic ballistic and aerodynamic laws which determine space travel; necessary subsystems and general factors that control re-entry trajectory; problems introduced by re-entry process between 300,000 ft altitude and impact; example of lift to decrease deceleration; reference made to Cook Research Labs' parachute research data.
