What is the background of the canadarm?
The Canadarm is a type of robotic arm developed in Canada. It has been used on Space Shuttle missions to help retrieve damaged satellites, launch new satellites and in the building of the International Space Station. It was used 90 different times in space.
What type of satellite provides power for shuttle missions?
Satellites don't provide power for space shuttles. The shuttle could receive power from the international space station, but besides that, the shuttle wouldn't take any power from any satellites.
What type of clocks are on the satellites?
atomic
Will an egg timer work in space?
Most egg timers would work in space (zero gravity) apart from the sand hourglass type. The rely on springs and gears to keep time not weights.
What are the two main types of satellites?
The main type of satellites are: 1) Geostationary 2) Polar
What type of energy do objects in space emit?
Stars, satellites, and something else
What type of energy do artificial satellites need to reach orbit?
It is mainly solar energy. Since all you need to avail it is photovoltaic cells. As there is no atmosphere to block the sunrays, you get plenty of solar energy in space.
What type of work are done on deploying satellites?
put dynamite in space XD

What type of spacecraft operates by a renewable energy source one that will not run out?
Satellites run using solar panels.
What type of energy is very noisy and takes a lot of space?
None. Whilst sound itself is a form of energy, no type takes up space as it is not made of atoms.
What type of cells is used in satellites to obtain energy from the sun?
Photovoltaic arrays are used( in conjunction with accumulators - batteries - to store energy when the satellite's solar panels are in shadow).
What type of energy do space satellites use?
"They convert solar energy to electricity,this fuels all the activities of the satellite." your wrong. yes they use solar energy to power the electrical equipment, however, they also have fuel to power the booster engines to realign them when going off course. The fuel used to power the engine(s) is typically hydrazine (N2H4).
What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
What energy travels through space as RHythmic waves in a plant?
Photosynthesis is powered by light energy from the sun; and sunlight is a type of energy called electromagnetic energy or radiation. Electromagnetic energy travels in space as rhythmic waves.
What are the two main kinds of weather satellites?
Environmental satellites provide data in several different formats. The most commonly used channels on weather satellites used are the visible, infrared, and water vapor satellites. Each of these channels on the satellite sensors is sensitive to energy (electromagnetic energy) at a particular range of frequencies, therefore each type provides a different view of the Earth, its atmosphere, and its oceans. Researchers rely on all three types of data, and often use them together to better understand the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's surface.In this activity, you will read about each type of image and compare visible, infrared, and water vapor imagery to observe the differences. You will be able to describe the use of each type of satellite imagery and use all three together to describe the atmospheric conditions over a portion of the Earth. There are several images to compare that consist of different views of the same scene.Advanced Television infrared Observation Satellites ( TIROS-N or ATN) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES).
