yes there are 2 large solar panels on the side of the Hubble space telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope gets its electricity from two large solar panels that convert sunlight into electrical power. These solar panels provide the necessary energy to power all of the telescope's systems and instruments.
It uses solar panels.
The Hubble Space Telescope is powered by solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. These solar panels charge the spacecraft's batteries, which provide power to operate its scientific instruments and communication systems.
So it can gather energy off the Sun and store it in the panels.
Solar energy, all space equipment uses solar panels
The Hubble telescope might need an extra solar panel to increase its power supply, especially if the existing panels degrade over time or if new instruments are added that require more energy. This would ensure that the telescope continues to function effectively and gather important data from space.
Being in perpetual orbit, Hubble needs a power supply that is constant and needs little if any maintenance. Solar power fits that bill. Hubble is fitted with two twenty-five foot solar panels that produce 2,800 watts of power.
The largest satellite in our solar system is the Hubble Space Telescope.
-Because it was the fist telescope that can see outside our solar system.
The Hubble Telescope is hit by small objects like tiny meteoroids a few times a year, but its robust design and protective shielding help minimize damage. The telescope orbits Earth in a region with relatively low debris density, reducing the likelihood of collisions.
For power ! The telescope has a bank of rechargeable batteries on board. They power the on-board instruments (including the data-links back to earth, and are charged by the solar panels pointing towards the sun.
HST runs on electricity supplied by massive Power Supply Units, which get their electricity from the 2 huge Solar Panels on either side of the spacecraft.
