Hi!
I just wanted to ask for the formula that is used to calculate the angle of reentry in DGIV.

Thanks!

Depending on how far you do your deorbit burn, it could be anywhere from 35-45. If you do your deorbit burn from
about 18.00M from the base from a 300k x 300k orbit, 40 degrees should do it.

Thanks for answering, but I meant the angle in which the glider touches the atmosphere. In earth normally its between 1 and 2
degrees...

Does anyone know that formula?

Vertical velocity ^2 + Horizontal velocity ^2 = Velocity
Sine(Angle of descent) = Vertical velocity/Velocity
