Abstract: As near-Earth object (NEO) surveys continue to search for smaller NEOs, they will also detect an increasing number of temporarily captured objects, or minimoons, in geocentric orbital space. Derelict spacecraft and debris in Earth orbit and cislunar space can be mistaken for minimoons, but spectral characterization can distinguish between the two categories of objects. However, systematic noncompositional effects due to nightly and seasonal phase angle changes on artificial objects need to be quantified before… Show more
