    I am interested in how standard magnitude is calculated.  I have been
unable to find information on this exact calculation beyond the fact
that it is based on the surface area of the spacecraft and some
assumptions about the surface properties.

I cannot find further definition beyond what is mentioned here:

Thanks for any additional info!
