MagTComp:

Path: SC/Actuator

% Performs a tradeoff of magnetic torquers versus thrusters. 
   Uses Ithaco data. This gives you and idea of when to use thrusters.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [massPerUnitTorque, massFlowPerUnitTorque, cTorquer] = MagTComp( Isp, r, bMedian )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   Isp              (1,1)   Average specific impulse of the thrusters (sec)
   r                (1,1)   Average moment arm of the thrusters (m)
   bMedian          (1,1)   Median field (T)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   massPerUnitTorque     (1,1)   Mass per unit torquer torque (kg/Nm)
   massFlowPerUnitTorque (1,1)   Fuel mass flow per unit torque (kg/year/Nm)
   cTorquer              (1,1)   Coefficients for the equation m = c0 + c1*torque + c2*torque^2 (Nm)
