Examining the Effects of On-Orbit Aging of SL-12 Rocket Bodies Using Visible Band Spectra with the MMT Telescope
Abstract
We have collected high resolution spectra of five Russian SL12 rocket bodies in GEO. Spectra were collected by the 6.5m MMT telescope Blue Channel Spectrograph. Spectra are analyzed for evidence of the effects of on-orbit reddening and other changes.
