Abstract The design and analysis of atmospheric entry has been an integral part of the developments in space engineering. In this chapter, we start by giving a historical perspective of a selection of the development of hypersonic flight and re-entry technology, followed by a presentation of some recent and upcoming projects in this area. Subsequently, we focus our attention on key past efforts of the optimization of entry vehicle shapes. Finally, we provide an overview of the contents and structure of this book.
