MSData:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete the stage data for a multi-stage launch vehicle.
1 2 3 4 ... payload
Provide the payload mass and 2 other parameters to retrieve a data
structure with the complete set of data.
The parameter names can be selected to be one of the following:
m0 Initial (wet) mass above each stage including the stage
mF Final (dry) mass above each stage including the stage
mS Total mass of each stage
mSS Mass of the structure for each stage
mSP Mass of the propellant for each stage
eS Structural ratio for each stage
pS Payload ratio for each stage
Note: the following pairs of parameters do not provide sufficient
information:
[m0,mS]
[m0,pS]
[pS,mS]
[mF,mSS]
Since version 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
d = MSData; % returns a multi-stage data structure with empty fields
-or-
d = MSData( mPLD, p1, v1, p2, v2 );
-or-
d = MSData( d ); % where d is a multi-stage data structure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
