Large part of the information from local environment to distant planets is received by measuring and analyzing the scattered light, i.e. by remote sensing.
In this research group, we study various space geodetic and astronomical observing techniques covering different wavelengths.
It is known that most natural surfaces are scattering incident radiation anisotropically as a function of illumination and viewing direction.
This project studies the capabilities of active satellite laser ranging (SLR) and passive optical (photometric) observations for the characterization of objects orbiting near the Earth, as well as the possible synergies obtained by combining these two methods.
