On the basis of optical scattering properties, the paper proposes an experimental simulation scheme and a data processing method to calculate the rotation rate of the spatial instability target, which is also successfully inverted. The experiment systematically simulates the actual optical observation. Therefore, satellite model attitude, solar azimuth and detector observation angle are the same as what STK simulated respectively. Moreover, the detection process of STSS satellites with low orbit is simulated. The data is collected from multiple experimental periods and analyzed by spectral analysis, autocorrelation analysis and crossover residual method, all of which can invert the rotation rate of the model satellite. Using crossover residual method, however, is found least interfered and delivers the most accurate results. The paper provides data ground for the future research on rotation rate of the spatial instability target on the basis of optical scattering properties.
