    To compute the synodic effect you need to know the position of the object's
    rotation axis, the type of reflecting surface and its angle to the rotation
    axes - in addition to sun-object-observer positions.
    
    To estimate the rotation axis you need three flashes from the same surface,
    observed in widely separated positions (and within a few weeks for a LEO)
    
    I have a graphing program to facilitate DETECTION of synodic effects that
    vary during one pass, because of the changing  sun-object-observer angles
    (and flashes from additional surfaces).
