Spacecraft Vibration Suppression and Measurement Sensor Technology

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of space technology, micro-vibrations have become a restriction for improving the imaging quality and pointing accuracy of in-orbit satellites. In order to weaken or eliminate the impact of micro-vibrations, effective micro-vibration suppression methods must be adopted. Due to the very small vibration magnitude of space vehicles, broadband and low-noise measurement sensor technologies need to be developed. Furthermore, the verification of micro-vibration suppression on the ground is a challenge due to the influence of gravity.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Micro-vibration suppression to space optical payloads;
2. Micro-vibration suppression to solar wing;
3. Isolation of CMG;
4. Micro-vibration suppression to space antenna;
5. Micro-vibration measurement sensor technology;
6. Ground testing technology;
7. Design and broadband control of fast-reflection mirrors (FSM);
8. Image stabilization technology;
9. High-precision pointing;
10. Advanced sensing technology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
