Abstract
The review presents the materials concerning investigation of aerogasdynamics and thermal protection of missiles during their launch and flight and of re-entering spacecraft accomplished from the foundation of NII-88 (now TsNIIMash) to Gagarin’s flight. The experimental and theoretico-computational studies, chiefly not reported in accessible publications, are outlined.
