Analysis of entry is developed around new dimensionless parameter which combines certain conditions at conic perigee altitude with certain characteristics of vehicle; parameter determines either deceleration- or heating-limited corridor widths for elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic approach trajectories; calculations of corridor widths and guidance problems presented for Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Titan and curves for various entry conditions.
