Determination of structural features of artificial Earth satellites surfaces
Abstract
The possibility to study some properties of individual parts of artificial Earth satellite surfaces from results of ground-based observations is considered. Using the results of colorimetry, polarimetry and the determined orientation of individual parts of the surface of a satellite allows one, in 85% of the cases, to model complicated shapes of the space vehicle under investigation. Some ways to solve such problems on the basis of observational data analysis is proposed.
