Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Galileo Project is a pioneering scientific initiative aimed at systematically investigating Interstellar Objects (ISOs) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
Towards this, the Galileo project has developed a comprehensive instrument package with multimodal and multispectral capabilities. This includes wide-field cameras for tracking aerial objects, narrow-field instruments for characterizing object properties, antenna arrays and receivers for radar data, radio spectrum analysers, acoustic emission microphones, and environmental sensors for understanding ambient conditions and electric and magnetic fields. The varied instruments aid artifact recognition and the verification of true detections. Furthermore, state-of-the-art data processing techniques, including AI/ML, are used for sensor data fusion, hypothesis tracking, classification, and outlier detection.
The Special Issue will include articles that elaborate on the Galileo Project's computing and software systems and the assembly of its first UAP Observatories. Additionally, it will encapsulate the initial results and key findings from a targeted expedition undertaken with the express purpose of retrieving fragments from IM1, retrieved from the Pacific Ocean and recognized as the first recorded interstellar meteor.
We welcome any articles from the Sensors community that may contribute to the objectives of the Galileo Project.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
