Abstract With the increase in the number of objects orbiting Earth, Space Situational Awareness (SSA) has becoming an important area of research in the space sector. Currently most sensors that contribute to SSA are large dedicated optical or radar stations, such as space fence (Pechkis, et al., 2015). With the increase in low resolution sensors in LEO there is a growing potential to utilize these to augment current SSA efforts. Star trackers are readily available and used in space for attitude determination, with recent work performed to demonstrate the benefit of using spaced-based optical measurements for Resident Space Object (RSO) detection. In this paper, we describe the interpretation of space-based measurement for light curve of an RSOs to estimate the RSOs shape, attitude and optical properties. In this model, two Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BDRF’s) are compared, namely a defined facet model and an anthropic Phong model. From the initial results an RSOs shape, attitude, optical properties can be estimated with basic a-priory information on the shape of the RSO with both models.
