ABSTRACT:
The equipment for measuring on earth the thrust of thrusters for use in space comprises a balance (1) and a measuring means (11) which is associated with the balance in order to measure the thrust exerted by the thruster (P). The balance (1) is provided with a target (13) at which the exhaust jet from the thruster (P) is directed, whereas the thruster is mechanically free from the structure of the balance and the measuring means (11) measures the force applied to the balance in order to balance the thrust exerted on the balance by the jet from the thruster. (FIG. 3)
