The scope of the Collection corresponds to the Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing cluster. It covers the following specialties: G8 Materials Science, G9 Applied Mechanics, G10 Metallurgy, G11 Mechanical Engineering, and G12 Aviation and Rocket and Space Technology.
The scope of the Collection covers the development and operation of state-of-the-art military missile and space launch systems, spacecraft, and satellite systems, as well as their components, including:
- Design and development of missile and ground-based systems.
- Design and development of components of space launch vehicles and combat missiles (liquid-propellant and solid-propellant rocket engines, propulsion systems, control systems, separation systems, payload equipment, etc.)
- Design and development of components for ground-based systems (facilities, fueling systems, prelaunch processing systems, etc.)
- Design and development of spacecraft and their components.
- Problems of aerodynamics, heat and mass transfer, flight theory, loading, and structural strength.
- Problems of efficiency, reliability, safety, and economic feasibility of space launch systems.
- Other aspects directly related to the development and operation of space launch systems.
- Other topics corresponding to the Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing cluster.
The Collection publishes articles and materials reflecting both core and related topics: original articles presenting the results of theoretical and applied research, scientific reports, conference materials, and methodological studies.
Authors are responsible for the content of the articles submitted to the Collection. An article submitted by the authors shall be a completely original work that provides comprehensive information about the research, reliable results of the research performed, and an objective justification of its significance.
The Collection does not publish:
- Materials previously published in other publications.
- Materials that do not correspond to the scope of the Collection.
- Articles that do not contain new information compared with previously published results, or that contain factual or other errors that cannot be corrected, as well as articles that contain statements or hypotheses that directly contradict established scientific facts.
- Articles containing plagiarism or improper use of borrowed text, ideas, or research results.
- Literary or journalistic works of any kind, including those on scientific topics.
•Materials containing confidential information or information constituting a commercial secret of a company.
