A while ago I made a video testing the possibility of airbrake only reentries ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jk_iQnHqQQ )
But since noone on youtube seems to accept the idea of testing a concepts feasability or experimenting bt instead everything has to be a CHALLENGE - well heres a clearset challennge version:
Reentry Trajectory must have an apoagee of 80-90 km and a perigee of 40-50 km - from that trajectory on the kerbalcarrying capsule must land safely with no dmage using no chutes, wings, active engines or control surfaces, but mostly airbrakes and sturdy landing legs. A reusable rocket used to launch the capsule can land any way after seperation  with no rules.
