Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Small satellites have enabled a New Space market for academics and entrepreneurs to participate in satellite system development. They have also motivated academics and industrial experts to develop new technology to miniaturize their payload and space system. The miniaturized subsystem provides the opportunity for industry to deploy satellite constellation at a much lower cost. These miniaturized subsystems include software-defined radio, propulsion systems, satellite bus systems, star sensors, reaction wheels, etc. Some of these miniaturized subsystems’ size and performance are easily scalable, both up or down, based on the mission requirements, also known as a scalable system.
This Special Issue focuses on but is not limited to the development of miniaturized space systems, including high-efficiency power systems, new hardware topology, advance satellite payload, and scalable and modular bus systems.
In addition, contributions on the space system with in-orbit experiments and new ideas for space situation awareness arising from large satellite constellation in New Space applications are of interest. Reviews on space miniaturization technology, history, and their practicability are also welcome.

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. Aerospace 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.
