Universe: Feature Papers 2025—Space Science

This special issue belongs to the section “Space Science“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to set itself at the cutting edge of the most recent advances and perspective in Space Science across the entire electromagnetic spectrum and in the intertwined links with other fields at all relevant scales from mutually fertilizing theoretical, phenomenological and experimental perspectives. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • space instrumentation from radio to gamma rays;
  • astrophysics from radio to gamma rays;
  • Multimessenger Astrophysics Space Intrumentation and Methods;
  • Astroparticle and Cosmic Rays from Space;
  • Space Astronomy Observational Techniques and Data Analysis Methods;
  • Extrasolar System Exploration;
  • Planetary Exploration and Sciences;
  • Interactions between Space Science and other Scientific Disciplines.

You are welcome to send short proposals for submissions of Feature Papers to our Editorial Office (universe@mdpi.com). They will be evaluated by Editors first, and the selected papers will be thoroughly and rigorously peer reviewed.

Dr. Ezio Caroli
Guest Editor

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).
