The smallest possible impulsion generated by a thruster.

CONT

Performance measurements for a given thruster will rely on one of two different values: the total delivered impulse or the average thrust. Both are done via the measurement of the thrust stand dynamics. The impulse bit measurement involves measuring the velocity before and after a thruster pulse. An average thrust measurement involves either a measurement or a steady state deflection of the thruster arm.
