The long-range objectives of the entry technology program are to insure that an adequate technology base for a great variety of mission options exists. Consideration has been given to the entry of vehicles into the atmospheres of all the planets with the exception of Pluto. The experimental facilities for the studies are discussed, giving attention to shock tubes, the planetary entry radiation facility, ballistic ranges, the expansion tube, and arc jet facilities. Flight experiments are considered along with computational analyses and engineering approximations.
