NOTE 1:   The DSTATE option requires that all the data from one satellite       
          should be input together and in advanced time order. Also all
	  the satellites must be in the same order as on the SATPAR input
	  cards.
          Not all 6 components of the DSTATE at a specific time must be
          present if the user does not wish to solve for them, however          
          GEODYN will use a tight sigma for those components that are
          not present in the estimation process
