Space station needs any fuel to move?
no because it has solar panels which collect electricity from the sun
What are the panels the space probes wear called?
The panels on a space probe are called solar panels. Solar panels are panels that turn light into energy so astronauts and cosmonauts do not need to change the batteries. Not only do space probes have solar panels, some cars, houses, and all sorts of electronics can use solar panel. Solar panels do not pollute. This is why they use solar panels.
What is the area of the solar panels used on the International space center?
the awnser to this question is 27,000 square ft
