Abstract
The transport of payload into space, either suborbital, orbital or superorbital and its return to the Earth’s surface, is known to require the development and construction of suitable vehicles which are able to withstand the very severe thermal and mechanical (pressure and shear stress) loads encountered during such a mission. In the early days of space exploration, the designers had the feeling that the vehicle shapes should be as simple and compact as possible. So, capsules and probes as the most important types of non-winged re-entry vehicles (RV-NW) were born.
