The winged entry vehicle enters Venus’ atmosphere (hEI = 200 km) with nearcircular velocity vEI = 7.2 km/s and flight-path angle γEI = –2^o
and performs a skip entry. The vehicle has zero bank angle during its skip entry. a) Determine the vehicle’s pull-up altitude and pull-up velocity during the skip entry. b) Compute the peak deceleration along the flight-path and the peak normal acceleration in units of Earth-surface g₀
(= 9.80665 m/s²
). c) Compute the atmospheric exit velocity and flight-path angle. d) Compute the peak altitude during the Keplerian “skip out” phase (use μV = 3.2486(10⁵
) km³
/s²
for Venus’ gravitational parameter and rV = 6,052 km for the radius of Venus).
