Abstract
The invention relates to a braking and heat protection shield (1) for a spacecraft (5), said shield being situated at the front of the spacecraft to oppose a flow of gas striking the spacecraft, and including at least one gap (3a, . . . , 3d) shaped to present a through section to the flow that increases with increasing angle of incidence of the spacecraft, to create an aerodynamic force couple tending to return the spacecraft towards a position of lesser incidence.
