Yes, in a zero-gravity environment, mass is typically measured using principles of inertia or oscillation rather than weight. Here’s how:

. Measuring Mass via Inertia
This involves applying a known force to the object and measuring its resulting acceleration, using Newton's second law:

F
=
m
⋅
𝑎

⟹

m
=
F
𝑎
F=m⋅a⟹m=
a
F


How it works: A device exerts a known force (e.g., via a spring or an electric motor), and sensors measure the acceleration of the object. Since the force and acceleration are known, the mass can be calculated.
Example device: A "linear accelerometer" system that pushes the object and tracks its motion.

3. Centripetal Force Method
In rotating systems, the centripetal force can be used to calculate mass. For an object on a rotating platform:

F
c
=
m
⋅
𝜔
2
⋅
r
F
c

=m⋅ω
2
⋅r
where:

F
c
F
c

is the centripetal force,
m
m is the mass,
𝜔
ω is the angular velocity,
r
r is the radius of the rotation.
By measuring the force, angular velocity, and radius, the mass can be calculated.
