The knowledge of the Moment of Inertia of space components and small satellites is of paramount importance for the attitude control of the same. A simple device based on a precision air bearing equipped with a torsion rod has been realized at INRIM. The principle, the practical realization and the calibration procedure are presented. The apparatus has been tested with objects having mass less than 5 kg and moment of inertia up to 0.034 kg m2 obtaining an accuracy of the order of 0,2 % (k = 2).
