Reentry Shuttle Above Earth

A cinematic hard-sci-fi space illustration of a futuristic space shuttle performing atmospheric reentry above Earth, viewed from a three-quarter front-left angle as it flies from right to left. The vehicle is a sleek white delta-wing orbiter with 2 vertical tail fins, 2 large rear engines, a pointed nose, dark cockpit windows, subtle panel lines, light weathering, and small black technical markings. The fuselage bears the text {argument name="ship name" default="STARSTREAK"}. A blazing reentry plasma sheath wraps around the nose, belly, wing edges, and upper rear body, forming a long turbulent orange-white fire trail that fills much of the upper background. The shuttle remains clearly visible inside the incandescent shock layer, with bright rim lighting and scorched warm reflections on the hull. Below, the curved Earth occupies the lower part of the frame with a thin blue atmospheric limb, cloud systems, ocean, and a visible spiral storm. Above is deep black-blue space with faint stars. Ultra-detailed aerospace concept art, dramatic motion, realistic lighting, high contrast, sharp focus, epic orbital perspective, painted illustration style, no text overlays except the ship marking.
