MENIR – A CONTRIBUTION FOR FINAL UNCERTANTY EVALUATION OF ROCKETS MASS MEASUREMENTS

• Abstract:

  The weight is a very significant property for several rocket projects’ calculations. The cost of satellite mass is very high and a reduction of 1% can save thousands of dollars. Then it’s necessary to know the most important uncertainty sources to obtain a reliable result. In this paper, a developed method is shown to find the smaller uncertainty of a rocket’s weight among several available weighing instrument parks.
