Corridors for manned vehicles are defined consistent with requirements for avoiding radiation exposure and for limiting values of peak deceleration; use of lift increases depth of entry corridor; mid-course guidance requirements appear to be critical only for flight-path angle; corrective thrust applied essentially parallel to local horizontal produces maximum change in perigee altitude for given increments of velocity.
