几千年前就发展了测量物体重量或质量的方法和技术。但是,许多世纪以来,并没有重大的进展。目前,测量重量的传统方法已不适应与空间探索和宇宙航行有关的微重力或接近于零的重力环境。于是,我们研制成了一种用质量惯性特征测定其质量的仪器。这种仪器能以±0.05％的精度测量从小于1g(0.02磅)到大于10000g(22磅)的样品。 Thousands of years ago, methods and techniques for measuring the weight or quality of objects were developed. However, for many centuries, no major progress has been made. At present, the traditional method of measuring weight has not adapted to the microgravity or near-zero gravity environment associated with space exploration and astronautics. As a result, we developed a quality inertial characteristics of the instrument to determine its quality. This instrument measures samples from less than 1 g (0.02 lb) to more than 10,000 g (22 lb) with ± 0.05% accuracy.
