New mandatory author declaration for submissions to MST

Starting in 2021, Microgravity Science and Technology is changing to continuous article publishing (CAP) mode. CAP is the immediate assignment of articles to issues upon online publication of each article. This means there is no longer an ‘OnlineFirst’ status without a citable volume and page number.

On April 6^th, 2016, China launched its 24^th recoverable satellite, the SJ-10 Recoverable Microgravity Experimental Satellite, for the sole purpose of experimenting in microgravity physics and space biology. Now, in 2019, under the guidance of Prof. Wenrui Hu, the Chief Scientist of SJ-10 satellite mission, two books summarizing the results have been published jointly by Science Press and Springer.
