 [2]    This card can be used with or without the first flux card               
        (i.e. col 9 = 0)  If column 9 does not equal one, field one             
        WILL NOT represent the solar flux at 1 AU.  When col 9=1 this           
        card CAN ONLY be used to specify the solar flux at 1 AU.  A             
        second card must be used to specify additional options.                 
                                                                                
        The solar flux at 1 AU is divided by the speed of light to              
        compute the solar radiation pressure on the satellite.                  
        Therefore, when specifying this value, one must insure that             
        the speed of light is consistent.                                       
                                                                                
 [3]    The solar flux values input to GEODYN are the 1 A.U. values. GEODYN     
        will scale the solar flux values to the actual earth-sun distance.      
        The values printed out by GEODYN IIS are the scaled values.
