I installed RSS, which makes the atmosphere thicker. I don't know if this has caused any problems. In short, even if the Heat Shield reaches its maximum, my return capsule will still explode.

    @DarkgreenWorld2712 :-D
    Noooo, Sun is much too hot. Just look to it, can't even stand this for 2-3s without eye damage ;-)

    @TomKerbal Speaking of warm up, I noticed that in RSS, the temperature of the Heat Shield before the return capsule explosion had even reached a crazy level ,8500 degrees Celsius. My inclination angle should be the state you described as' in between '.
    I may be landing on the sun(

    @DarkgreenWorld2712
    The question of whether that is realistic is a good one. Very shallow dipping may lead to falling off and back into space. In the other case, you have a very long phase of heating with little deceleration. I thought that would be optimal. But if the whole thing warms up for too long, that's probably not good either. Going down too steeply is known to be fatal. So something in between. But with Juno and RSS I can't do that without tinkering/heat damage reduction.

    @TomKerbal Sadly, that's not entirely effective. When my spaceship returned to Earth from a height of 300KM, the Heat Shield was also unable to withstand the high temperatures.

    @TomKerbal After my friend's reminder, I learned that the Heat Shield must always face the direction of speed in order to avoid an explosion. This has indeed worked.
    But another problem troubles me, the rocket cannot have too high acceleration before leaving the atmosphere, otherwise it will also explode. I don't know if this is realistic or a bug in the game.

    Yes, here the same. Turn Heat damage down during flight seems to be the only "solution".
