Document Description
The proposed action is to designate an orbital reentry corridor for the recovery of flights of generic unmanned Lifting Entry Vehicles (LEVs) from low earth orbit to final approach at Edwards Air Force Base in support of future Air Force and NASA research and development programs. The generic LEV reentry corridor is defined by the trajectory (ground track and altitude) of a vehicle as it reenters the earth's atmosphere from space.
