Abstract:
Several Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites were observed simultaneously using three identically configured telescopes from the High-Accuracy Network Determination System (HANDS) at the Remote Maui Experiment (RME) observing site. Each telescope observed the satellites using a different Johnson filter (B, V, or R). In this way we acquired simultaneous color photometry of multiple LEO objects, and color indices were produced. We believe this approach will yield promising results in the field of non-resolved satellite characterization.
