double SpecificImpulse;

Description

Effective specific impulse (seconds) used to convert vent mass flow to thrust when fuel vents to space. Thrust magnitude is Isp * EffectiveFlowRate * g0 (same convention as cold-gas thrusters). Direction: exhaust leaves along the interconnect’s local axis; reaction force on the body is the opposite of the exhaust direction. When zero, venting still removes mass but produces no thrust.
