A Reentry Vehicle (RV) is a type of spacecraft designed to return to Earth from space. It is specifically engineered to withstand the intense heat and pressure generated during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere. RVs are commonly used in various applications, including military missiles and space missions, to safely deliver payloads or astronauts back to the surface. The design of a reentry vehicle often includes heat shields and aerodynamic shapes to minimize drag and protect the vehicle from extreme temperatures. Notable examples of reentry vehicles include the Space Shuttle and the Apollo Command Module, both of which successfully returned astronauts from space missions.
