Guest Editors: Maria Petrou, George A Lampropoulos and William J Emery

This special issue recognizes the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration and offers a much needed outlet for publishing inter-disciplinary research. The emphasis of the call is on the inter-dependence of software, applications and sensor technology, as it is clear that one cannot totally disassociate hardware from software, or applications from hardware, because they depend on each other very strongly, particularly for Remote Sensing applications. Limitations on the downloading time of images, of storage and computing capacities on board satellites affect very significantly the software that has to be developed and the applications of remote sensing.

• The submitted papers should concentrate on Remote Sensing applications of Space Technology, with emphasis on the interaction and interdependence of hardware-software-application. Papers must include a significant original application or demonstration of remote sensing capabilities using the new Space Technology. In particular, papers must include more than just a description of original new technology. They must also apply that technology to a remote sensing application in a substantive way.
• Publication Schedule
