Deadly reentry and reusability

[Katieop3]

I recently got deadly reentry and I'm trying to reuse stages too but when I reenter my rockets just burn up... is there a way around this?

Moving to Add-on Discussions.

However, it's worth noting that if you have a question about a specific mod, the best place to ask is usually in the mod's own thread in Add-on Releases, since that's where the expert users (and the mod author!) hang out, and is therefore the most likely place to get answers.  You may want to try asking over there.

The solution is either a heatshield, heat resistant parts, or reserving some propellant for a reentry burn SpaceX style to reduce thermal loads on the rocket.

It's Deadly Reentry, not Nice, Fluffy, and Soft Reentry.

What do you mean heat-resistant parts?

Maybe you need to increase/reduce angle of approach to the atmosphere?

I would say a re-entry burn i find that these equations work best:

mR = m0/m1

RS = V*mR+(24*4.5)

Rv = 500

In this case:

m0 = mass at launch

m1 = mass at stage separation

24*4.5 works and i dont know why it is most likley because this is what i wait before starting the burn

Rv = re-entry burn end speed (500 works with the 4.5)

this is what i am using for my kOS scripts

Parts with a high maximum temperature, such as spaceplane parts. A lot of those can survive gentle reentries without a heatshield.
