Outer space has fascinated mankind since the dawn of time and has nowadays become an essential part of modern society. Space technologies help us gain a deeper understanding of our own planet and the universe, identify global problems, and seek solutions to climate change, agriculture and food security, environmental protection and disaster prevention, and transportation and logistics efficiency – just to name a few examples of applications. Today’s space industry is exponentially growing, and sustainability in this section – as in others – has become an essential requirement to ensure the safe, fair, and peaceful use and exploration of outer space.
This Collection will gather the latest advances in space technology with a special emphasis on long-term solutions aimed towards the sustainable exploration, development, and settlement of outer space. We will consider research in the fields of engineering, robotics, materials science, remote sensing, mechanics, and computational science.
