Determination of mass characteristics (MPM)

IABG has a number MPM facilities to accurately determine the physical mass characteristics of aeronautic and space systems, their components, pay loads or various other technical devices. Exact data on mass, centre of gravity and moment of inertia of a test item is necessary to, for instance, optimally control the satellite’s position in space.

We are even able to measure large test items along three axes using an L adapter and a rotation device.
