Title: Predictions of solar flux

Description: This figure shows solar radio 10.7 cm flux (F10.7) predictions from Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) at 95%, 50%, and 5% solar activity. F10.7 is an excellent indicator of solar activity. It is important to note that we are approaching solar minimum conditions in the coming years, during which the need for drag compensation will be greatly reduced. Solar activity follows an 11-year cycle, although significant variations can occur between cycles. Therefore, three simulations were performed, covering a range of solar activity values.
