Vehicle heated more severely during ascent than during descent. Report describes calculations of aerothermodynamic heating of conceptual transatmospheric vehicle (vehicle with characteristics of both airplane and space shuttle, intended to take off and land at ordinary airports and to fly along trajectories taking it briefly into low orbits above atmosphere). Calculations important to future design studies to determine need for cooling by transpiration or ablation of most-severely heated surfaces.
