Re-entry back to Earth (1 Viewer)

[desmond.thai]

Can anyone tell me what the re-entry angle for survival is?

In a physics textbook it gives me "...restricted to 6.2˚ plus or minus 1.0˚ to the horizontal".

the study notes i found said angle is between 5.2˚ and 7.2˚.

Which one is correct?

Thanks

Yeah the notes should techincally say "5.2 to 7.2 degrees to the horizontal" as well.
