The design, calibration, and testing of an automated polarimetric imaging system aimed at developing efficient and reliable optical polarimetric characterization techniques of resident space objects, with emphasis on satellite space materials, are introduced. The presented electrooptical imaging polarimeter system exhibits a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The system's accuracy is investigated using test materials of well-known optical properties. The outcome of this study indicates that the operational design principles of the optical polarimetric system may prove extremely useful in characterizing remote manmade materials commonly used in space.
