(Monday's recorded broadcast)

A weekly programme about work in the world of science.

by T. R. F. Nonweiler of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, The Queen's University. Belfast.

Although aerodynamics is advancing rapidly it still has many problems to solve, particularly when the speeds involved are those of rockets and satellites. One formidable problem is that of reentering the earth's atmosphere and slowing down without being burned up through friction with the upper air. Some ways in which this may be done are discussed in this programme.
