Mass Property Test

AQMAAR offers precise Mass Property Measurement (MPM) services to characterize the physical dynamics of satellite systems. Accurate knowledge of these properties is critical for attitude control system (ACS) tuning and launch vehicle compatibility.

Key Capabilities:

• Precise Mass Measurement: High-accuracy weighing of flight modules and integrated spacecraft.
• Center of Gravity (CoG) Determination: 3-axis identification of the spacecraft's exact center of mass to ensure stable flight dynamics.
• Moment of Inertia (MoI): Measurement of rotational inertia along all axes, essential for optimizing reaction wheels and magnetorquers.
• Dynamic Balancing: Identification of products of inertia to prevent orbital wobble.

This service is performed using the advanced AIT facilities of the Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA), ensuring compliance with international launch standards

Our MPT system supports spacecraft and structures up to 2000 kg, providing mass measurement accuracy of ±0.5 kg and moment accuracy of 0.2 kg·m. 

For inertia measurements, the system handles configurations with up to 2000 kg mass, maximum allowed eccentricity of 100 kg·m, and an MOI range of up to 5000 kg·m
