Surviving Re-Entry into the Earth's Atmosphere

I'm sure as hell I've asked this before, but finding threads that are a few months old in popular categories like the QNA board feels near impossible, so I'm asking again.

Anyways, is surviving re-entry into the atmosphere enough to qualify for resistance to Extreme Temperatures? A scan with how hot re-entry can get would also be very helpful.

about 3000 degrees Fahrenheit

Although it causes drag, it also causes intense heat. Specifically, shuttles face intense temperatures of about 3000 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1649 degrees Celsius) [source: Hammond].

It converts to heat (from friction) caused by the atmosphere's molecules striking its leading edges. This heat makes the Shuttle's surfaces reach temperatures of up to 1477° C (2691° F). We must design the re-entry trajectory, and the vehicle, to withstand these high temperatures.
