% Generates a lunar module model. 
 This combines the ascent and descent vehicles. 

   Data:

   CSM Orbit 54 x 66 nm lunar orbit
 
   LM does delta-V to an 8 by 60 nm elliptical orbit
 
   Contact probes are 68 inches
 
    the weight breakdown is as follows:
    Ascent stage, dry             4,804 lb Includes water and oxygen; no crew
    Descent stage, dry            4,483 lb 
    RCS propellants (loaded)        604 lb
    DPS propellants (loaded)     18,100 lb
    APS propellants (loaded)      5,214 lb
    Total weight                 33,205 lb
 
    Engine 6 deg gimbal to handle ACS and CM offset
 
    Engine throttle between 1050 and 6300 lbf Max thrust is 9,870 lbf
 
    RCS 100 lb thrust
 
    Aerozine 50 and nitrogen tetroxide.
