MS2M:

Path: Propulsion/MultiStage

% Converts stage and payload masses to total masses and final masses.
   1 2 3 4 ... payload
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [m0, mF] = MS2M( mS, eS, mPayload )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   mS          (1,:)  Fully fueled mass of the stage
   eS          (1,:)  Stage structural 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)
   pS          (1,:)  Stage payload ratios
   mSP         (1,:)  Stage propellant mass
   mSS         (1,:)  Stage structural mass
