  It's how fast it is spinning yes but it there could be multiple surfaces that reflect more brightly. I actually work at a telescope where we're in the business of tracking satellites. Its boring work, but it's good as a summer job, and the professor it's under has me working on much cooler projects. I'll have to find the ephemerides of the sat and point out scope there.

    True. And with multiple reflective surfaces, intensities would probably differ. I can see some of that in the clip. I also get the sense that it's tumbling on at least two axes. The light curve would be instructive.
