EP2M:

Path: Propulsion/MultiStage

% Converts structural and payload ratios into masses.
   1 2 3 4 ... payload
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [m0, mf] = EP2M( e, p, mpayload )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   e          	(1,:) Stage structural ratios
   p        	(1,:) Stage payload ratios
   mpayload	(1,1) Payload mass

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   m0       	(1,:) Total mass of each stage (including everything above)
   mf        	(1,:) Final mass of each stage (including everything above)
