The Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator (ARD) successfully completed its atmospheric reentry flight on October 21st, 1998. This paper provides with a summary of the ARD flight data and presents some lessons learned that can be avantageously used for the development of future re-entry vehicles with precise landing capabilities. This paper widely uses materials from a serie of presentations dedicated to ARD Post-Flight analysis during the 2001 International Symposium on Re-entry systems and technologies in Arcachon.
