ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of measuring the quantity of fuel in a tank of a space vehicle. It includes a step of measuring the level of fuel in the tank during at least one acceleration stage of the space vehicle. The level of fuel can be measured by detecting the level of fuel in a tube having a first end in communication with a first region of the tank which constitutes a bottom of the tank relative to an acceleration direction, and having a second end in communication with a second region of the tank that is spaced apart from the first region.
