Polymer Battery Experiment

The Polymer Battery Experiment (PBEX) demonstrates the charging and discharging characteristics of polymer batteries in the space environment. PBEX validates use of lightweight, flexible battery technology to decrease cost and weight for future military and commercial space systems. PBEX was developed by Johns Hopkins University and is one of 4 experiment packages on PicoSAT.

PBE is one of 4 On Orbit Mission Control (OOMC) packages on PicoSat 9:

  • Polymer Battery Experiment
  • Ionospheric Occultation Experiment
  • Coherent Electromagnetic Radio Tomography
  • Optical Precision Platform Experiment

Famous quotes containing the word experiment:

    I look on it as no trifling effort of female strength to withstand the artful and ardent solicitations of a man that is thoroughly master of our hearts. Should we in the conflict come off victorious, it hardly pays us for the pain we suffer from the experiment ... and I still persist in it that such a behaviour in any man I love would rob me of that most pleasing thought, namely, the obligation I have to him for not making such a trial.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
