Special section guest editorial: Unmanned systems and satellites: a synergy for added-value possibilitiesSpecial section guest editorial: Unmanned systems and satellites: a synergy for added-value possibilities Εισαγωγή Επιμελητή Editorial 2024-02-222022enThe main objective of this special section was to showcase combined Uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and satellite studies, yet this disruptive and promising scientific endeavor was not mature enough to support explicit and specialized publications. Nevertheless, most studies included in this section mainly present common methodologies established from satellite remote sensing, adjusted under a UAS perspective, mainly taking advantage of enhanced spatial resolution and on-demand data acquisition.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Journal of Applied Remote Sensing162 Partsinevelos Panagiotis Παρτσινεβελος Παναγιωτης Su Hongbo SPIE Satellites Remote sensing Unmanned systems Data fusion Unmanned aerial vehicles Satellite communications Satellite imaging
