MATLAB: How to store values from all iterations into one vector

for loopiteration

Hi, I am trying to run my code to calculate values over every iteration and them plot my V value vs time, however, I haven't been able to successfully store all of the calculated values over all the iterations. I tried to with the brackets before the for loop but I don't think I did them correctly. Any help in figuring out how to do this would be appreciated. Thank you!
function RocketLaunch
clc, clear
m_rocket = 24675.42;                    % Empty Mass / Mass of Rocket [kg]
m_fuel0= 379838.25;                     % Mass of Fuel [kg]
m_total0 = m_fuel0 + m_rocket;          % Initial Total Mass
thrust0 = 0;                            % Initial Thrust                      
thrust = 8296425.89;                    % Thrust in Newtons - Assuming to be constant 
BurnTime = 161;                         % Burn Time [s]
m_dot = m_fuel0./BurnTime;              % Mass flow rate of fuel - Assuming it is constant
t = [1:155];                            % Code only works to t = 155s
VEL = [];
EX_VEL = [];
for i = 1:length(t-1)
    if i > BurnTime
        m_fuel0 = 0;
        thrust = 0;
        m_dot = 0;
        V_e = thrust./m_dot; 
        V = V_e.*log(m_total./m_rocket);
     end
      m_fuel = m_fuel0-m_dot.*i;
      BurnRate = (m_fuel - m_rocket)./BurnTime;
      m_total = (m_fuel + m_rocket)+(BurnRate.*i);
      V_e = thrust./m_dot;
      V = V_e.*log(m_total./m_rocket);
end
VEL(i) = V
EX_VEL(i) = V_e
