EPPS:

Path: Propulsion/MultiStage

% Payload and structural mass ratios for parallel stages.

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   npp         (1,1)  Fraction of 1st stage fuel burned in parallel with
               (1,1)  0th stage
   ms0         (1,1)  Structural mass of 0th stage
   ms1         (1,1)  Structural mass of 1st stage
   m02         (1,1)  Payload of 1st stage
   mp0         (1,1)  Propellant used during 0th stage burn
   mp1         (1,1)  Total propellant in the 1st stage
   v0          (1,1)  Exhaust velocity of 0th stage
   v1          (1,1)  Exhaust velocity of 1st stage

   -------
   Outputs
