Method for function determination of GEO spin stabilized objects by ground-based photometric data
The spin period of geosynchronous earth orbit(GEO)spin stabilized objects has a strong correlation with its ground-based photometric data period and functional attributes.With the spin period of the object as a bridge,the function determination of a GEO spin stabilized object can be realized by ground-based photometric data.The spin period and function correlation of the GEO spin stabilized objects that are still in orbit as of May 1,2022 were analyzed.Based on different characteristics of their photometric data,the photometric data inversion method of the object's spin period was proposed.By combining the correlation between spin period and its function,the function determination of the object by photometric data was further proposed,which could effectively improve the application benefit of ground-based photometric data and provide new ideas for space applications such as space object capability evaluation.
