Spectroscopic Observations of Satellites at Kyung-Hee University in Korea

Abstract

We have been conducting spectroscopic observations of satellites in addition to photometric observations since last summer at the Kyung-Hee Optical Satellite Observation and Tracking Facility (KOSOTF). We began with observing slowly moving objects, such as geo-stationary satellites. We have undergone many trials and errors to succeed in the spectroscopic observations of these satellites. Necessary hardware and software being used are described. Observation and data acquisition techniques are also discussed although data analyses have not been completed. Future observing plans are presented for the spectroscopic and photometric observations of low altitude satellites.
