Recommended Practice for Thrust Measurement in Electric Propulsion Testing
James E. Polk,Anthony Pancotti,Thomas W. Haag,Scott King,Mitchell L. R. Walker,Joseph Blakely,John Ziemer +6 more
TL;DR: The accurate, direct measurement of thrust or impulse is one of the most critical elements of electric thruster characterization, and it is the most difficult measurement to make as mentioned in this paper, and therefore it is difficult to obtain accurate measurements.
Recommended Practices in Thrust Measurements
James E. Polk,Anthony Pancotti,Thomas W. Haag,Scott King,Mitchell L. R. Walker,Joseph Blakely,John Ziemer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recommended practices for the design, calibration, and operation of pendulum thrust stands, which are widely recognized as the best approach for measuring micro N-to mN-level thrust and micro Ns-level impulse bits.
