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:
“What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men—each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature—are shot down wholesale.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
