General. ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES is a journal of planetary geodesy, affiliated to the Space Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences. It offers a forum for scientific publications on such aspects of geodesy and geodynamics as positioning, satellite geodesy, gravity field, geoid and heights, tides, reference frames, Earth rotation. We accept original papers of fundamental nature, i.e. concerning new ideas, theories and processing means, as well as those dealing with new applications of the existing methods and technologies. Submitted manuscripts should be written in English; correct spelling and good sentence structure is the responsibility of the author.

Reviewing process. Each paper undergoes a review procedure prior its publication and it is reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board or by its appointed expert. The accepted article should be corrected by the author(s) taking into account the remarks or suggestions of the reviewer. If these remarks or suggestions were not taken into accound the author(s) should explain why they have been disregarded. The electronic copy of the corrected paper has to be sent to the Editor-in-Chief or secretary not later than two weeks after receiving the review. The reviewer should sent the review to the Editor-in-Chief or secretary not later than one month after receiving the paper. If the paper is not accepted for publication by the reviewer it is sent to another reviewer. If the second review is positive then the decision about publishing or rejecting the paper is made by Editor-in-chief together with the editorial board
