Conception of choice of aerodynamic assembling of Clipper shuttle manned space vehicle designed in RSC Energia is presented in this paper. The main features of aerodynamic assembling and changing of aerodynamic characteristics on Mach numbers, angles of attack and angles of slide are examined. The results of calculated and experimental investigations of aerodynamic characteristics of returned vehicle during descent are presented. Conducted investigations have shown that Clipper vehicle provides for acceptable aerodynamic characteristics through all flight range of velocities and angles of attack and slide, that permits to realize a trajectory of descent from orbit with necessary side distance and overloads do not exceed 2.0. 1.
