RocketH2O2:

Path: Propulsion/Chemical

% H2/O2 rocket model.
 Type RocketH2O2 for a demo of the Space Shuttle Main Engine at sea level.

 If p0 is any character it will return a default data structure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [thrust, uE, qR] = RocketH2O2( p0, pA, aStar, aE, f, tP )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
