No. In summary, the two are quite different things. They are related by weight = mass x gravity.
On Earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 9.8 newton (about 2.2 pounds), but
on the Moon, the same mass weighs only 1.6 newton (about 5.8 ounces).
Inside the space capsule, on the way from one to the other, the kilogram
of mass has no weight at all.
