Atmospheric entry is the movement of an object into and through the gases of a planet's atmosphere from outer space. There are two main types of atmospheric entry: uncontrolled entry, such as in the entry of astronomical objects, space debris or bolides; and controlled entry, such as the entry (or reentry) of technology capable of being navigated or following a predetermined course.
For Earth, atmospheric entry occurs above the Kármán Line at an altitude of more than 100km (62mi.) above the surface, while at Venus atmospheric entry occurs at 250km (155mi.) and at Mars atmospheric entry at about 80km (50mi.). Uncontrolled, objects accelerate through the atmosphere at extreme velocities under the influence of Earth's gravity. Most controlled objects enter at hypersonic speeds due to their suborbital (e.g., ICBM reentry vehicles), orbital (e.g., the Space Shuttle), or unbounded (e.g., meteors) trajectories. Various advanced technologies have been developed to enable atmospheric reentry and flight at extreme velocities. An alternative low velocity method of controlled atmospheric entry is buoyancy which is suitable for planetary entry where thick atmospheres, strong gravity or both factors complicate high-velocity hyperbolic entry, such as the atmospheres of Venus, Titan and the gas giants.

Onboard ride during the re-entry of Orion shows the extreme conditions a spacecraft endures as it returns to Earth.. Orion launched on its first test flight of two orbits in 4.5 hours on Dec.5 - 2014. ... Enable Annotations for Metric values
EFT 1 traveled 3,600 miles above Earth to test the new vehicle. It was NASA’s furthest & fastest capsule mission since Apollo.
The new spacecraft landed in the Pacific Ocean under its three main parachutes.
