Summary of requirements to consider in study of return, re-entry and recovery; reference made to Douglas thick-wing planetary vehicle which provides means of reducing maximum heating rate and total heating by entering atmosphere with winged vehicle placed at high total angle of attack; re-entry fundamentals; balloons and gliders; other concepts such as use of magnetohydrodynamic principles for increasing re-entry drag.
