Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Satellite technology is becoming increasingly pervasive in all aspects of our lives such as remote sensing, communication, and global navigation positioning, which cannot be separated from the design, maintenance, and application of satellite constellations. With the increasing number of proposed civil constellations, the design and application of satellite constellations with different functions have become a research hotspot.
It is anticipated that satellite-based applications will proliferate, contributing to the development of satellite constellations. This trend, in turn, is going to impose unprecedented pressure on reliable constellation design, the rapid modeling and analysis of constellation capabilities, and efficient satellite mission planning. Therefore, the main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight satellite constellation designs and intelligent applications and that propose original contributions to solve their associated key challenges. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Constellation design;
- Satellite technology;
- Satellite navigation;
- Constellation application;
- Design and operation of constellations and swarms;
- Design and analysis of space systems;
- Reconfiguring method of satellite constellations;
- Simulation and evaluation of mega-constellations;
- Satellite remote sensing;
- Satellite mission planning.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
