Development of an indirect counterbalanced pendulum optical-lever thrust balance for micro- to millinewton thrust measurement

This paper describes the design and testing of an indirect hanging pendulum thrust balance using a laser-optical-lever principle to provide micro- to millinewton thrust measurement for the development of electric propulsion systems. The design philosophy allows the selection of the total thrust rang...
