The go point for re-entry is two thousand nine hundred ninety miles from where we want Colonel Glenn to land. If we assume that’s the Bahamas, at seventeen thousand five hundred and forty-four miles per hour, upon re-entry three hundred seventy feet, at a descent angle of 46.56 degrees. The distance velocity squared, sine gravity squared. Sine, thirty-two feet, and the distance would be twenty million five hundred and thirty thousand three hundred seventy-two feet, or two thousand nine hundred ninety miles or 46.33 degrees. Okay, so that puts your landing zone at 5.0667 degrees North, 77.3333 degrees West.
