Abstract: 
We show that some partial physical simulation of effects of the MHD-interaction of re-entry spacecrafts with the Earth’s atmosphere is possible for a hypersonic rarified plasma flow under MHD-approximation conditions. These effects are a decrease in a convective heat flow and increase in the drag force.
Keywords: hypersonic flow, MHD, plasma, simulation
