Hey, Looks good!
I can't check the iterative output 'cuz the stage speed ("Stage Seed") is missing from the table. (Or i don't understand it, or my browser isn't rendering it, etc.) But if the stage speed was known you could just use the first equation as a simple check. -- We should (do?) have a symbols page to define the meaning of these symbols, and/or define them as they are used. > http://psas.pdx.edu/staging/ -- http://psas.pdx.edu/news/2000-11-02/RA_PSAS_Lecture.PPT http://psas.pdx.edu/RocketSim/ http://psas.pdx.edu/2012_liquid_motor_notes/ http://psas.pdx.edu/simplerockets_1d/ http://psas.pdx.edu/RocketSimPhysics/ (2011.01.29) ben...@gmail.com: > I was curious to see what it would take to get a 1 kg payload into orbit, so > I did some math and wrote some code!
