Did you know the space shuttle was gliding back to Earth like a sailplane? 
The space shuttle is a marvel of engineering and was also the fastest sailplane. After re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, the space shuttle had no engines to correct for its descent path. Instead, it glided in one large turn towards Earth at a glide slope angle of 18-22 degrees. The average airline jet establishes itself on a 3-degree glide slope for landing. Pilots trained that approach manoeuvre multiple times in the simulator, but most of the time, the autopilot did most of the descent path corrections and landing!
I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little aviation fact for today! More to come tomorrow!
Wishing you all the best!
