  Filename:	TimeStep.c
  Purpose:	Updates those portions of the system state (positions and
  		velocities of bodies) associated with linear motion.  I.e.,
		accounts for gravitational accelerations and thrust.  Later,
		drag will be included as well.
  Mode:		2004-09-23 RSB.	Began.

  How to use it
  -------------
  
  1.  Decide how many bodies will be modeled.  At a minimum, this should
      include the Earth, Moon, Sun, and a spacecraft.  The system state vector
      will contain 7 elements for each body:  3 position coordinates, 3 velocity
      components, and the body's mass. 
      
  2.  Allocate the state-vector itself:
  
  	#define NUM_BODIES 4
	ts_t Vector[NUM_BODIES * 7];
	
  3.  Allocate a structure for the TimeStep function's own state info, and 
      initialize it:
      
        struct tss_t *State;
	State = TsAlloc (NUM_BODIES);
	
  4.  Initialize the state vector.  Elements 0,1,2 are the initial x,y,z 
      coordinates of body 0, elements 3,4,5 are the initial x,y,z velocity
      components of body 0, element 6 is the mass of body 0, elements
      7,8,9 are the initial x,y,z coordinates of body 1, and so on.  The MKS
      system of units is used for position and velocity, and an inertial 
      reference system is assumed, such as a non-rotating coordinate system
      with origin at the solar system's center of mass.  NOTE:  Masses are 
      NOT stored here in kg, but are multiplied by G, the gravitational 
      constant.  (I.e., mass in kg times G in MKS units.)  This is done for
      planetary bodies because GM is known with much greater precision than
      G and M individually, and is carried over to spacecraft for consistency.
      
  5.  Compute as many time steps as you like.  The system state vector will
      be updated each time TsStep() is executed:
  
	for (t = 0; t < something; t += DeltaT)
	  {
	    ... Adjust State->Thrust[].  The elements corresponding to the
	        coordinates (0,1,2, 7,8,9, etc.) are zero.  The elements
		corresponding to velocities (3,4,5, 10,11,12, etc.) contain
		forces (in Newtons), and the elements corresponding to mass
		(6, 13, etc.) contain the rates of change (kg/s) of the masses
		of the bodies, to account for propellant loss.  Very likely
		a smaller time-step DeltaT will be needed while thrust is 
		applied than while only gravitational forces are active ...
	    TsStep (State, DeltaT, t, Vector);
	    ... Do something with this info ...
	  }
	  
  6.  Deallocate the storage created for internal use of TsStep:
  
        State = TsFree (State);

// Here is a special-purpose rate-computation function, in which a Vector
// represents a collection of bodies each having 7 degrees of freedom (3 position
// 3 velocity, and mass) each .  In other words, Dim=7*NumBodies.  Positions 7n 
// through 7n+6 of vectors are as follows:
//
//	x  = x-position of center of mass of body n
//	 n
//
//	y  = y-position of center of mass of body n
//	 n
//
//	z  = z-position of center of mass of body n

// The masses usually do not change, but may change as propellant is expelled.
// The rates of change are computed from the gravitational attractions of the bodies,
// which is a function only of position, and from thrust, which is a function only
// of time.  For the System->Thrust vector, the
// first three values of each group of 7 are zero; the next three are the force
// due to the thrust; the 7th is the rate of change of mass.  This model allows
// the calling program to worry about how the force is related to propellant usage,
// exhaustion of propellant, and so on, separation of thrust and torque, etc.,
// without GravAndThrust having to know anything about it. Thrust is assumed constant 
// throughout any integration time-step, so the calling program may need to adjust 
// the time-step appropriately.
