[sci.space.shuttle] Hypersonic Aerodynamics, Satallite Aerodynamics

Hi,

	I am an Aero & Astronautical Engineering Student here at Purdue
University. Presently I am taking a class on Satellite Aerodynamics and
Planetary Entry. The course is wonderful, however there is one drawback.
There is no text book. The Professor has hinted at books, however, they
do not cover the subject clearly or in its entirety. I also heard rumor
that NASA has a book that they use to Educate their employees. 

	The question is this:

	Do any of you know of a good book that will cover the subject?

		The following is a list of what the class covers:
			Free Molecular Motion Aerodynamics.
			Newtonian Theory to the above.
			Newtonian Hypersonic Theory.
			Hypersonic Theory.
			Re-entry.
