Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid increase in space system scale, task execution capabilities, and user demand has led to research hotspots in spacecraft dynamics modeling, task planning, and collaborative control. A better series of dynamics models can calculate more accurate position and attitude among spacecrafts and ground targets; a set of higher efficient planning algorithms can obtain more economical, secure and validate usage of spacecraft; and a range of precise control methods can make the task execution more accurately. There are many symmetry issues, mathematics theory issues, and algorithm issues in dynamics, planning and control of spacecraft. Consequently, to make future spacecrafts more accurately and efficiently, the challenges must be faced, including mega-constellation dynamics modeling, large-scale spacecraft task planning, satellite swarm control, ground operation system design, inter-satellite routes, earth observation requirement handling, and other related techniques.
This planned Special Issue of Symmetry aims to provide a forum for scholars, students, and industrial engineers to exchange the latest techniques on dynamics modeling, task planning, and satellite swarm control and will discuss the vital issues, challenges and possible future trends in spacecraft and its related systems. Accepted papers for this Special Issue are expected to provide the latest developments in dynamics, planning and control approaches, especially new theoretical results with practical applications. We would like to invite scholars to contribute with their research by employing symmetry or asymmetry concepts in their methods and methodologies, including, but not limited to, the areas listed below.
Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Advances in Dynamics, Planning and Control of Spacecraft and Related Systems” via the MDPI submission system. Papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
