M2EP:

Path: Propulsion/MultiStage

% Converts masses to structural and payload ratios.
   1 2 3 4 ... payload
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [e, p] = M2EP( m0, mF, mPayload )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   m0          (1,:)  Total mass of each stage (including everything above)
   mF          (1,:)  Final mass of each stage (including everything above)
   mPayload    (1,1)  Payload mass

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   e           (1,:)  Stage structural ratios
   p           (1,:)  Stage payload ratios
