Resumen

This paper outlines a multi-system approach for ground-based optical observations and the characterization of satellites in geostationary orbit. This multi-system approach is based on an in-depth analysis of the key factors to consider for light curve analysis of Earth?s orbiting satellites. Light curves have been observed in different spectral bands using two different systems. The first system is specialized for astronomical observations and consists of a telescope equipped with an sCMOS camera and Sloan photometric filters. In contrast, the second system is a more cost-effective solution designed for professional non-astronomical applications, incorporating DSLR cameras equipped with RGB channels associated with a Bayer mask and photographic lenses. This comparative analysis aims to highlight the differences and advantages provided by each system, stressing their respective performance characteristics. The observed light curves will be presented as a function of the phase angle, which depends on the relative positions of the observer, the object, and the Sun. This angle plays an important role in optimizing the visibility of Earth?s orbiting satellites. Finally, multiband observations of different satellites will be compared to seek an associated spectral signature, which may allow the identification of structurally similar objects through optical observations.
