When space shuttles re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, they travel at speeds much faster than missiles — generating temperatures over 1600°C due to air friction. But how do they survive such extreme heat without burning up? In this video, we explain the science behind re-entry, thermal protection systems, and the advanced heat shield materials that protect astronauts and spacecraft during this deadly phase of space missions.
