Analytical method for evaluating velocity and deceleration history of ballistic vehicle experiencing change in given ballistic parameter during re-entry; mass is assumed to be transferred through process of either ablation or fluid injection into boundary layer; results show that maximum deceleration of re-entry vehicle is function of rate of change of this parameter; variable geometry can produce significant effect on trajectory parameters, such as velocity, deceleration, impact location and heating.
