Abstract
A number of studies devoted to the description of the entry of a celestial body into a planetary atmosphere are analyzed. It is shown that one can obtain an adequate qualitative pattern of the phenomenon with the use of an integral fracture criterion if the necessary energy condition of fracture is satisfied. The use of the traditional fracture criteria for materials does not give a correct description of the process considered.
