SatelliteSubsystemMass:

Path: SCPro/Systems

% Create masses for a satellite.
   You pass in the subsystem name and the BOL spacecraft mass. The data
   is based on the Intelsat V satellite and other communications
   satellites.

   Subsystem                 param
   ---------                 -----
   'acs'
   'thermal'
   'propulsion insertion'    fuel mass
   'propulsion rcs'          life in years
   'structure'               
   'power'                   communications system power (W)
   'electrical integration'
   'mechanical integration'
   'payload'                 communications system power (W)

   As shown in the built-in demo, you need to iterate on the function as 
   you build up the satellite mass.

   Since version 10.
