Difference between Atmospheric entry and Single-stage-to-orbit

Atmospheric entry vs. Single-stage-to-orbit

Atmospheric entry is the movement of an object from outer space into and through the gases of an atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet or natural satellite. A single-stage-to-orbit (or SSTO) vehicle reaches orbit from the surface of a body without jettisoning hardware, expending only propellants and fluids.

Similarities between Atmospheric entry and Single-stage-to-orbit

Atmospheric entry and Single-stage-to-orbit have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apollo program, European Space Agency, Hypersonic speed, Lockheed Martin X-33, Low Earth orbit, Mars, McDonnell Douglas, McDonnell Douglas DC-X, NASA, Rockwell X-30, Scramjet, Single-stage-to-orbit, Space Shuttle, Space Shuttle thermal protection system.

Apollo program

The Apollo program, also known as Project Apollo, was the third United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which accomplished landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972.
