Simulate a space capsule re-entering Earth's atmosphere from Low Earth Orbit at 7800 m/s. Entry angle determines outcome: too shallow and the capsule skips off the atmosphere; too steep and aerodynamic heating and g-forces become lethal. Lift-to-drag ratio allows lifting re-entry for softer deceleration. Track peak heating rate and g-load versus altitude.
