Problem of sublimation of material and accumulation of heat in ablation shield is analyzed and results applied to reentry of vehicles into earth's atmosphere; parameters which control amount of sublimation and temperature distribution are determined and presented for engineering calculation; it is shown that total mass loss from shield during reentry and insulation requirements may be given in terms of maximum deceleration of vehicle or total reentry time.
