About These Units

Millinewton (mN)

A millinewton (mN) equals 0.001 newtons or approximately 0.1 gram-force. Millinewtons measure small forces in precision instruments, insect wing forces, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Ion thrusters produce forces in the millinewton range.

Meganewton (MN)

A meganewton (MN) equals 1 million newtons or approximately 225,000 pounds-force. Meganewtons measure rocket thrust (Falcon 9: ~7 MN), ship propulsion, and large structural forces. The Space Shuttle main engines produced about 5.25 MN combined.
