Artificial Satellites

Aims & Scope

ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES is a journal of space research, affiliated to the Space Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences.

It offers a forum for scientific publications on such aspects of geodesy, geodynamics, space physics and space engineering as positioning, satellite geodesy, gravity field, geoid and heights, tides, reference frames, Earth rotation, physics of ionosphere and troposphere, near Earth space environment, Solar physics, physics of the heliosphere, photogrammetry, remote sensing and aerospace engineering.

We accept original papers of fundamental nature, i.e. concerning new ideas, theories and processing means, as well as those dealing with new applications of the existing methods and technologies.

Submitted manuscripts should be written in English (British or American but not a mixture of them); correct spelling and good sentence structure is the responsibility of the author.
