**3.2.2 OREX capsule**

The OREX geometry is depicted in Fig. 2 with the detailed dimension. The fore-body shape consists of RN = 1.35 m, a half-angle cone of N = 50 deg, D = 3.4 m, L = 1.508 m, and RC = 0.01 m. The OREX geometry incorporates a rear cover with a small backward facing step at the junction between back cover and heat shield. The aft body is having B = 15 deg, halfangle cone relative to the plane of symmetry.
