With RSA, scientists can reconstruct the characteristics of a foreign satellite from the pattern of radar pulses it reflects back to a tracking station. Largely by measuring the amplitude, or strength, of the reflected pulses, they can calculate the satellite's size; by analyzing the variations in pulse amplitude caused by the satellite's rotation or merely by its passage across the sky, they can determine its shape with remarkable precision. By determining the time it takes the pulse pattern to repeat itself, they can learn how fast the distant space craft is tumbling, rolling or spinning around...
