M2MS:

Path: Propulsion/MultiStage

% Converts total, final and payload masses to stage masses and ratios.
   Stage Order: 1, 2, 3, 4, ... N, payload
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [mS, eS] = M2MS( 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
   -------
   mS          (1,:)  Fully fueled mass of the stage
   eS          (1,:)  Stage structural ratios
   pS          (1,:)  Stage payload ratios
   mSP         (1,:)  Stage propellant mass
   mSS         (1,:)  Stage structural mass
