  5. Planetary Protection and Astrobiology:
    Research exploring the potential for life on other planets and the implications of planetary protection has seen a rise, aligning with the growing interest in Mars and other celestial bodies as targets for exploration.

Declining or Waning

While COSMIC RESEARCH covers a wide range of topics, certain themes have seen a noticeable decline in recent publications. This may indicate shifting priorities or a maturation of research in these areas.
  1. Historical Space Missions:
    Research focused on older space missions or historical analyses has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards more current and relevant studies that address contemporary challenges in space exploration.
  2. Classical Orbital Mechanics:
    While foundational principles remain important, there has been a waning interest in classical orbital mechanics without the integration of modern computational techniques or applications to new missions.
  3. Non-Astrophysical Environmental Studies:
    Papers that primarily focus on terrestrial environmental issues without a strong connection to space science have become less common, as the journal increasingly favors studies with direct relevance to space phenomena.
