We carry out a visible spectra polarization test to the typical satellite surface materials, and accomplish visible reflect characteristic test based on test data. Then, we deduce the visible reflect polarization transfer model which is based on the polarization bidirectional reflectance distribution function, and evaluate the simulated computation accuracy of the model based on measured data. The results show that the reflected polarization degree of the simulated model is in good agreement with the measured results. And the polarization degree of coating materials used for typical satellite surface is usually minimum at the condition of mirror reflection, but the angle of polarization has the maximum value. That is to say, if the surface compositions of materials are different, the polarization characteristics of the visible light reflection are quite different. It is more helpful to distinguish the material composition of the target by considering the polarization characteristics of the target surface. The research results can provide basic data support for improving the effectiveness of satellite detection.
