Recently developed theory of heat transfer at high velocities and high altitudes is applied to problem of satellite vehicle entering atmosphere; circular reentry orbits are considered for bodies under influence of gravity and drag forces; numerical results for determining conditions under which survival of such satellite may be expected.
