MASS PROPERTIES TEST FACILITY
LRO Mass Properties
The Mass Properties Measurement Facility (MPMF) is used to measure the weight, center of gravity (CG), moment of inertia (MOI), and product of inertia (POI) of large aerospace structures. The facility can also be used to balance payloads statically and dynamically. The MPMF is portable and can be operated in a clean room.


Parameters:

• 4 ft. diameter mounting table; 10 ft. table is available for larger payloads
• 10000 lb weight capability
• 30000 in-lb moment capability
• Table rotational speed of 0-200 rpm
