The return to earth's atmosphere (2-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

re-entry

(Other definitions for re-entry that I've seen before include "Spacecraft's return phase" , "Spacecraft's return to earth" , "Hitting earth's atmosphere again" , "Return of a spacecraft to the earth's atmosphere" , "Return from outer space" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
