re-entry
Atmosphere return phase
Re-entry is the act of entering again.
A spacecraft makes re-entry when it returns through Earth's atmosphere: The capsule burned up during re-entry.
In law, re-entry refers to resuming possession of property.
A re-entry permit allows someone to return to a country after traveling abroad.
The word applies to any situation where someone or something comes back in: her re-entry into the workforce after raising children.
