We have measured the momentum of muons from the decay π+→ μ+νμat rest to be pμ+= 29.79207±0.00012 MeV/c. This result leads to a laboratory upper limit of 0.16 MeV (CL = 0.9) for the muon-neutrino mass. The cosmological upper limit of the neutrino mass, the muon mass and the new pμ+-value yield the pion mass mπ+= 139.57031 ± 0.00016 MeV. The mean kinetic energy of the pions stopped in the isotropic-graphite production target immediately before their decay is found to be Tπ+= 0.415 ± 0.027 eV .
