   • The orbital maneuvering engines (OMS) then thrust the ship out of orbit and toward Earth. Descent through atmosphere: After it was safely out of orbit, the shuttle turned nose-first again and entered the atmosphere belly-down (like a belly-flop) to take advantage of drag with its blunt bottom.
