High Earth Orbit Spaceborne SAR Systems, Technologies, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

During the past two decades, many countries have attached great importance to high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR systems, technologies, and applications. In particular, China has successfully launched the world’s first geosynchronous Earth orbit SAR in August 2023. It is generally believed that the high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR is an important development direction in the future, because of its advantages of large coverage, short revisit time, and strong anti-destruction ability. However, compared with the conventional low orbit spaceborne SAR, the research on the high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR is not yet sufficient. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to invite scholars to publish articles on the latest progress on high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR systems, technologies, and applications.

The focus of this Special Issue is to report the latest progress on high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR systems, technologies, and applications. Specifically, it includes (but is not limited to) the research of advanced radar technology, the latest high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR imaging theory, and the latest moving target indication methods for high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR.

Potential topics for this Topic include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR missions, systems, and techniques.
• Imaging methods for high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR;
• Artificial intelligence in high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR applications;
• Moving target indication methods for high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR;
• On-board real-time processing of high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR images;
• Image recognition and interpretation methods for high Earth orbit spaceborne SAR;
• Integrated satellite-ground/air dual-functional sensing-communication technique;
• Other related topics.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
