Abstract
An empirical method is presented for determining the range, t ime of flight, and maximum deceleration associated with the re-entry of a ballistic nose cone. Simple equations are presented which permit calculation of actual range and actual t ime of flight compared to the range and t ime of flight under conditions of no atmosphere. Coefficients are plotted which relate range and t ime of flight to the initial re-entry conditions and ballistic coefficient W/Cz>A. These coefficients were determined from a series of trajectories obtained on a digital computer for various initial conditions.
