Thanks! The two periods shown in your plots is closed to the periods we got measuring the max peak to peak on our 3D surface plot. Could you please send this to us by e-mail.

The issue is how to understand a satellite or rocket body in a multi-axis tumble and to get a tumble rate. Seems it is not as straight forward as some claim in the satellite observing community and visually timing flash rates even over a long track we are coming to believe are poor at best since most never cover a little over a minute and sub flash peaks can easily be missed.
For us we were just trying to come up with a way to basically tell if a satellite is tumbling or not especially if they are in rapid tumble.
Thanks for the help
