Paper considers basic dynamics of entry trajectories and shows how dynamics of trajectory variables are related to guidance and control problem; various guidance and control concepts are described -- guidance using predicted capabilities, and guidance using nominal trajectory; application of these guidance systems to current vehicle configurations and to entries from circular, supercircular, and abort conditions are considered.
