This lecture explores the re-entry and landing phase of the Space Shuttle missions, focusing on the procedures followed by the crew, the challenges faced during re-entry, and the final touchdown at Kennedy Space Center. The instructor provides insights into the use of launch-and-entry suits, the steep glide slope approach, the head-up display for guidance, and the post-landing processing of the orbiter in the Orbiter Processing Facility.
