NOTE [1]:                                                                       
                                                                                
           The solar array pitch bias applies to the time period                
           specified on the TOPBTM card which immediately follows this card.    
           If no TOPBTM card immediately follows this card the time period      
           will be taken from the EPOCH card.                                   
           multiple TOPBIA cards may be included in a run. The time periods on  
           corresponding TOPBTM cards should not overlap. If there is no        
           solar array pitch bias specified for a certain time period the       
           default value applied will be zero.
