Our paper will discuss the photometry observation techniques currently in use by the Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern (AIUB) and at the Zimmerwald observatory. We present the processing of light curves with the aim to determine apparent spin periods of observed objects and to reconstruct their folded phase functions. We will summarize spin rates for 397 objects extracted from 1991 light curves which were acquired with the ZIMLAT telescope during the last ten years. More than dozen of defunct spacecraft showed a periodic change of the apparent spin rates over time. These cases will be briefly discussed.
