Effect on factors as entry angle, angle of attack, wing loading, initial velocity, orbital heading, and initial latitude was investigated; data in form of charts showing effect of each variable for entries starting at velocities close to circular satellite velocity; results show feasibility of automatic control which regulates angle of attack to control trajectory of vehicle to desired landing area.
