Interactive visualisations of the approximated Phobos 1 spacecraft rotating at two observed solar phase angles. Each animation presents the illuminated and shadowed spacecraft alongside the corresponding measured and modelled light curve.
82° solar phase
The higher-phase-angle case, showing the strong rotational modulation measured near a solar phase angle of 82°.
61° solar phase
The corresponding spacecraft geometry and fitted light curve at a solar phase angle of approximately 61°.
