Joe and the group... Here is 25 year old data of STS5

http://www.habitablezone.com/columbia/Archive/Dryden/Documents/H-1254_Therma
lResponseShuttleWingReentryHeading.pdf

Go to page 7 of the PDF and see graph and you can take off altitude,
velocity over time.

Google is a wonderful thing.  Google "reentry velocity altitude shuttle"







But see where are the numbers to verify this? People make this statement all
the time.  but have yet to show any data that verifies this.  Why is this
soo hard to verify?

...Stuff deleted...


I'd like to see any data of speed vs altitude..

Joe
