Abstract: It is possible to identify certain characteristics of geostationary satellites by examining their photometry. This paper reviews some of the technical problems and methodologies concerning photometry, as well as identifying photometric characteristics. Existing methods of identifying geostationary satellites with photometry are also summarized. Presence Database photometric and dynamic characteristics of the GSS, additional information, simplifying the input of the inverse problem — modern methods allow identifying unknown GSS with a probability of 80 %. |
| Keywords: photometric satellites, photometry |
