The difference scheme is proposed which makes it possible to improve the precision of calculations in areas with large gradients of gasdynamic functions in the flow past the vehicles descending in the atmosphere of planets. The behavior of aerodynamic characteristics and flow fields along the descent trajectory in atmospheres of the Earth and Mars is investigated for the hypersonic and small supersonic Mach numbers in real time.
