A possibility of quick mass measurement is discussed. In the experiment, mass is measured based on the Newton equation of motion, m = F/a, where m is the mass, F is the force and a is the acceleration. Quick mass measurement with a sampling interval of approximately 0.1 ms is achieved during the steep impulse with the full width at half maximum of approximately 25.9 ms. A practical and compact instrument for accurately measuring mass under microgravity conditions is proposed.
