Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As humanity’s endeavours in space continue to expand and evolve, the space around our planet is becoming an increasingly vital and contested domain. The burgeoning population of Resident Space Objects (RSOs), including operational satellites, defunct satellites, rocket bodies, and debris, poses a considerable challenge to the safety and sustainability of space operations. This edition invites submissions on cutting-edge techniques and technologies focused on track detection of RSOs in Earth's orbit. With the escalation of space activities and the consequent growth in the number of RSOs, precise tracking is paramount for collision avoidance and mission safety. We encourage submissions that explore advancements in a wide spectrum of instruments, including phased array radars, optical telescopes, in-orbits systems and others. We are particularly interested in studies on the incorporation of machine learning algorithms in data processing for faster and more reliable tracking of RSO trajectories. Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster a deeper understanding and stimulate further innovation in the field of RSO tracking.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
