A part of a spacecraft, for instance an upper stage, is configured to re-enter into the atmosphere and to be reused for several missions. The part is equipped with a reusable kit comprising non-ablative heat shields, for example constructed with an outer surface formed of Ceramic Matrix Composites, such as Ultra High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites, and optionally at least one decelerator and/or at least one parachute and/or parafoil system.
