Abstract: The problems of movement and destruction of large cosmic bodies under the influence of thermal and force loads in the Earth's atmosphere are considered. Based on the modified physical theory of meteors, a mathematical model of the trajectories of movement of such bodies during the invasion of the planet's atmosphere is constructed. A computational experiment was carried out for known meteoroids selected as reference ones in order to determine the effect of the ballistic parameters of the entry of these meteoroids (the angle of inclination of the trajectory to the Earth's surface and velocity) on the process of their destruction in the Earth's atmosphere. It is shown that these characteristics have a great influence on the motion and destruction of cosmic bodies.

Keywords: meteoroid, heat flux, entry parameters, destruction, ballistics.
