Description

When returning a probe from the Mun, the heat shield didn't register any aerodynamic forces and my spacecraft continued to speed up deeper into the atmosphere of Kerbin.

This happened after loading a quick save while in Kerbin atmosphere.

Slowed down by jettisoning the heat shield.

Below is the before and after showing me not slowing down at all.

Hi Oradon, it appears your heatshield is clipped inside the servicebay, this occludes it from aerodynamic forces.
