Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precise Orbit Determination (POD) is very important for many science and technology research areas, such as planetary science, astrometry and celestial mechanics, space geodesy, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), lunar and deep space exploration, and space situational awareness. POD technology has developed rapidly from the late 20th century, especially after entering the 21st century. This Special Issue entitled "Precise Orbit Determination of the Spacecraft (2nd Edition)" in Aerospace will feature articles exploring the latest advancements in POD technology, including Earth satellites and cislunar spacecraft, lunar spacecraft, and deep space spacecraft. The development of technology relating to POD, such as ground-based/space-based tracking technology and highly dynamic modeling of satellites, is also welcome.
The Editor of this Special Issue invites authors to submit papers addressing the challenges in POD technology.
The insights presented in this Special Issue will provide valuable information for researchers, professionals, and students involved in aerospace science, engineering, and related fields. Overall, this Special Issue comprehensively surveys recent trends, innovations, and the future prospects of advanced POD technology.
