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:
“Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
