Cosmic Research is a peer-reviewed journal that encompasses all subjects of space science and technology, including ballistics and flight dynamics of Earth’s artificial satellites and automatic interplanetary stations, problems of transatmospheric descent, design and structure of spacecraft and scientific research instrumentation, life support systems and radiation safety of manned spacecrafts, exploration of Earth from space, exploration of near space, exploration of Sun, planets, secondary planets, and the interplanetary medium, exploration of stars, nebulae, interstellar medium, galaxies, and quasars from spacecraft, and various astrophysical problems related to space exploration. Cosmic Research is no longer solely a translation journal. It publishes manuscripts originally submitted in English and translated works. The sources of content are indicated at the article level. The peer review policy of the journal is independent of the manuscript source, ensuring a fair and unbiased evaluation process for all submissions. As part of its aim to become an international publication, the journal welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
