Simplified expressions describing transfer from satellite orbit to point of atmospheric entry are derived, intended to aid in rapid estimation of thrust magnitude and accuracy requirements; transfer trajectory resulting from application of thrust in any direction at any point in elliptic orbit is considered and expressions for errors in distance and entry angle due to initial misalignment and magnitude error of deflecting thrust presented.
