| Most all objects in Earth orbit, when imaged using all but the largest ground-based telescopes, appear as unresolved point sources of light. Although these unresolved images are featureless it may be possible to determine parameters related to an object s attitude and/or rotation rate by analyzing the spectral and temporal content of reflected sunlight. For instance a faceted rotating object may produce a periodic cycle of bright glints or a ... |
