Description

Attitude determination of space objects is difficult due to the non-linearity of the data and sparseness of available measurements. The combination of simultaneous photometry from two observation sites allows for more information to be obtained in a shorter amount of time. The characterization of the parameters necessary to complete this simultaneous two-site photometry are presented along with simulated results.

Simultaneous Two-Site Photometry in Attitude Determination of Resident Space Objects
