What You Will Learn

The Fundamentals of Earth Reentry (FER) short course gives you the basictechnical knowledge needed to intelligently address the critical aspects ofatmospheric entry from suborbital and orbital flight. You will learn aboutthe aerophysics of Earth reentry including gas dynamics, aerodynamics,aeroacoustics and aerodynamic heating. You will come to understand thekey characteristics of ballistic and lifting entry trajectory modes. You willlearn about the damping of entry vehicle dynamic motion and how it isaffected by the structure of the Earth’s atmosphere. You will also receiveinstruction regarding vehicle thermal protection systems, recovery systems,range safety considerations and flight crew survivability. Technical briefingswill be provided for a number of historical entry vehicles as well as thosecurrently under development. A partial listing of FER topics is shown below:

Aviation History

Much has transpired during the 100‐plus years of powered flight. We areboth the beneficiaries and stewards of the technological progress thatprevious generations have bequeathed to us. However, the truth is that agreat many in today’s aerospace workforce have little knowledge of the keypeople, events, and innovations that comprise the history of their ownprofession. While we cannot live in the past, we must learn from it if we areto be successful now and in the future. Further, like our predecessors, wemust protect and preserve this legacy knowledge for succeeding generations.It is for these reasons that White Eagle Aerospace strongly emphasizesaerospace history in the technical courses that it offers. This is done throughthe mediums of special presentations, videos, and field trips. Vehiclesaddressed in the Fundamentals of Earth Reentry course include:

Mercury SpacecraftGemini SpacecraftApollo SpacecraftSpace Shuttle OrbiterX‐15/X‐15A‐2X‐24AX‐24BHL‐10M2‐F3Dream ChaserSpaceShipTwoDragon Capsule
