Planetary and Space Science Planetary and Space Science, published 15 times per year, is a peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1959. It publishes original research articles along with short communications (letters). The main topic is solar system processes which encompasses multiple areas of the natural sciences. Numerical simulations of solar system processes are also conducted at ground based facilities or on-board space platforms. The editor-in-chief is Rita Schulz (European Space Agency/European Space Research and Technology Centre). It is published by Elsevier.
