Abstract
A re-entry vehicle includes a flare-stabilized cylindrical body with a center of gravity displaced from a centerline to define a windward side of the body upon re-entry. The body orients at an angle of attack between the centerline and a velocity vector to generate a lift vector. An actuator moves the lift vector relative to the velocity vector to control the descent of the re-entry vehicle.
