What Does DEL Stand For?
DEL stands for Deorbit Entry And Landing
DEL, or Deorbit Entry And Landing, refers to the vital phase in space missions where a spacecraft transitions from its orbital trajectory to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and land safely. This process involves precise calculations and maneuvers to ensure successful atmospheric re-entry, thermal protection to withstand extreme temperatures, and accurate guidance for landing. DEL is critical for the recovery of spacecraft and the safe return of astronauts and cargo to Earth.
