DESCRIPTION
Dear Colleagues,
Gas sensors, physical sensors, and sensor systems such as electronic noses play an increasingly important role in everyday life. In fact, they regulate our travels or methods of travel in big cities, providing data to regulate vehicle traffic. In indoor environments such as the home, their data are necessary for air conditioning systems to optimize their operation, taking into account air quality and energy consumption. Sensors will play an important role in human extraterrestrial voyages, to monitor the quality of air in the spacecraft or in space stations. Currently, physical sensors in space monitor the dust or contamination of the outdoor surface of the crew cabin or satellite parts to control the integrity or to prevent possible structural problems.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of both review and original research articles related to recent or consolidated technology (materials or devices) in a wide of range of applications in the field of environmental monitoring, including space.
