Space research is scientific study carried out in outer space, and by studying outer space. From the utilization of space technology to the overt macrocosm, space research is a wide research field. Earth science, materials science, biology, medicine, and physics all apply to the space research environment. The term includes scientific payloads at any altitude from deep space to low Earth orbit, elongated to include sounding rocket research in the upper atmosphere, and high-altitude balloons. The first artificial satellite, Russian Sputnik 1, launched on October 4, 1957, four months afore the Amalgamated States first, Explorer 1. The first major revelation of satellite research was in 1958, when Explorer 1 detected the Van Allen radiation belts. Planetology reached an incipient stage with the Russian Luna programme, between 1959 and 1976, a series of lunar probes which gave us evidence of the Moons chemical composition, gravity, temperature, soil samples, the first photographs of the far side of the Moon by Luna 3, and the first remotely controlled robots (Lunokhod) to land on another planetary body. The international journals are among the best open access journals in the world, set out to publish the most comprehensive, germane and reliable information predicated on the current research and development on a variety of subjects. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated utilizing citations not only from research articles but additionally review articles (which incline to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and endeavour to increment their number expeditiously. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal.
