Most distinctive feature of any project analysis of vehicle designed to carry man into orbit in space and return him, is need to limit accelerations and retardations of his passage, and temperature of his environment; reentry may be effected, using glider (using aerodynamic lift), or by relying on aerodynamic drag alone, i.e. parachute reentry; some tentative weight assessments are made of glider suggested.
