Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unfailingly, every practitioner of Earth observation celebrates the Landsat program’s contributions. No other single modern data resource has had such a widespread positive impact as the Landsat program. Today’s EO technology has been established through the Landsat effort, and its industry leadership is poised to continue with the launch of the greatly anticipated Landsat 10.
Smallsat constellations are now taking Landsat image processing technology into practical applications, making this a timely Special Issue. We encourage colleagues from around the globe to submit papers on the use of Landsat or smallsat imagery for Earth observation, including data calibration and validation. We look forward to original innovative papers addressing methods for image data processing and analysis, and the resulting practical applications for Earth observation across spatial and temporal scales alone, and in combination with other Earth observation data.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
