Graham, Cool. But still no cigar as far as Joe's question. So.. the broad flat shape generates more compressive heating, than the more pointy nose of the launch vehicle. But... the launch vehicle is still going to generate a great deal of heat through the same process if it is doing the same h

In the case of Delta II second stage tanks some analysis concluded that what allows them to survive reenty is that a hole initially burns in one end which results in a shape that creates a shockwave. The shockwave then deflects most of the heat around the tank. Some pictures if you're curious.

Ok, Say can anyone find me this info? The shuttle average orbital speed is 17580 MPh. So launch starts at zero, and ends up at 17580 then coming back down goes from 17580 to zero. Ok, Now what I want is,, At Time = zero it's zero MPH, at t+1 min it's now at what altitude, and what speed?
