How Do Astronauts Return to The Earth?

The journey back to Earth is one of the most critical phases of any space mission. Astronauts rely on precise engineering and physics to survive the fiery return through Earth's atmosphere. From the controlled deorbit burn to the deployment of parachutes, every step is meticulously calculated for safety.

Discover how heat shields withstand temperatures hot enough to melt steel, how parachutes slow a speeding spacecraft, and how astronauts experience the dramatic transition from orbit to a gentle splashdown or landing.
