Ths sheet has three parts:

1. The brachistochrone calculator. This, if it works, will take distance, thrust, intial mass, and mass flow, and give time and del
If it doesn't work, then try to use solver manually. Have it bring Ddif (B82) to 0 by altering Ta (B71)
2. This gives you position, velocity, mass, and acceleration for a given time, given initial mass, mass flow, and thrust.
3. Does the same as 2, but graphs for the quantities, using 100 subintervals. If you want the raw numbers, then scroll down.
