Serial staging with single rocket engine design (cont)
For the trip from earth to LEO, the optimization algorithm was applied to try for 1,2, or 3 stages with the selected engines.
Upper stages (LEO to GEO) Isp list :
[295.5 289.1 289.1]
Lower stages (earth to LEO) Isp list:
[301 316 316]
ε list : 20 values evenly spaced between 0.08 to 2.0 was tried.
Final GEO stages. Isp=462.
