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)
