        1. Slows the rocket down from hyper-sonic velocity to (just) supersonic 2. Helps keep the rocket oriented the the proper direction.

        Replying to @leoncsm @Bobby_Corwin @SpaceX

        1. Slower entry speed = less heating 2. Engine burn creates a bow wave protecting the vehicle from hitting the atmosphere directly

        Does it not also provide some 'force' to push propellant down the stage, as the is no gravity yet, or is that also the boost back burn?

        @rlarno there's always gravity. Prop floats as rocket falling at 1G. Ullage needed for boostback & entry but not landing as decel from air
