Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an effective tool for providing precise navigation and positioning, the multi-frequency and multi-constellation GNSS plays an important role in various fields such as geological monitoring, urban services, and global meteorology. In addition, the Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) is a global navigation satellite system developed by China, and the third generation achieved global coverage of timing and navigation by 2020. All of these services rely on fundamental theories, models, and algorithms to pinpoint the position and speed of each spacecraft. Beidou/GNSS will inevitably participate in more applications in the future, so the reliability and timeliness of data processing in particular parameter estimations, as well as quality control and other aspects, still need to be improved and perfected.
It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue in Remote Sensing whose goal is to collect papers on BDS/GNSS positioning algorithms, integrated navigation, and data processing for Earth science applications. Research topics include but are not limited to (a} satellite orbit dynamics (solar radiation pressure, attitude); (b) ground-based and space-borne GNSS receivers monitoring global ionospheric climate and weather and low-orbit GNSS retrieving environmental parameters on land and at sea; and (c) Earth observations that integrate GNSS with geodesy and geophysics, such as the Global Geodesy Observation System—GGOS.

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.
