Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As space exploration technologies continue to evolve, the scientific community is making significant strides in understanding extraterrestrial objects. The application of high-resolution sensors and cutting-edge processing algorithms such as machine vision and learning have enabled the gathering and analysis of vast amounts of data from planetary remote sensing missions. It is crucial to assess our progress in planetary remote sensing and develop a strategy to pass on our knowledge to future generations involved in solar system exploration.
In this regard, we propose this Special Issue as a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences in planetary remote sensing, covering topics such as remote-sensing technologies, background algorithms, and scientific achievements regarding planetary surfaces. This Special Issue will not only focus on the surfaces of terrestrial planets, but will also cover the sub-surfaces of planets and satellites as well as the atmosphere of giant planets.
Contributions are encouraged on:
- Applications of ground-penetrating radar for studying the subsurface of planetary bodies;
- Utilizing advanced multi-hyperspectral sensors and other optical sensing tools for quantitative and qualitative analysis of planetary features;
- Investigating the possibility of sub-surface oceans and liquid water on icy moons using remote sensing;
- Exploration of planet surfaces through active sensing techniques like SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging);
- Developing techniques to map the mineral distribution and geological features of solid planetary and satellite surfaces;
- Introduction of innovative missions and sensor proposals for advancing planetary remote sensing capabilities;
- Connecting scientific models and interpretations with remote sensing technology to enhance understanding and analysis.

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.
