What fuel does a satellite use?

Satellites use a combination of chemical propellants such as hydrazine, xenon gas for ion thrusters, or a mixture of chemicals for solid rocket boosters. The choice of fuel depends on the satellite's specific mission requirements and propulsion system.


Where can you go to use the Hubble telescope?

NASA


Are solar batteries commonly used by NASA?

Solar cells are commonly used on spacecraft but because a spacecraft might spend a considerable amount of time in the dark they also have fuel power. They most obviously use oil based fuel to launch the spacecraft into space.


NASA how they use computer?

NASA uses computers in many different ways. NASA uses computers to calculate spacecraft trajectories, figuring out where to aim a spacecraft so it will reach a particular point or orbit in space at a particular time. NASA uses computers to track spacecraft after launch, calculating how to keep them on course with minimum fuel use. This involves a compromise between waiting as long as possible to make a correction (so the actual course is known better) and correcting as soon as possible (to use less fuel for a given correction). NASA uses computers on board the spacecraft themselves to control guidance systems, propulsion systems, experiments and everything else. NASA uses computers to analyze data sent back from space missions. NASA uses computers to keep track of the thousands of objects that orbit the earth today. NASA uses computers for every administrative purpose that any other large organization would use them for, such as budgeting, personnel, word processing, e-mail, its Web site, etc., etc. It might make more sense to ask "what does NASA not use computers for?" It would be a shorter list!


Does NASA still use O-Rings in their Shuttles?

Yes

What battery does NASA use for their space shuttles?

They get electricity through the use of fuel cells. not batteries. The current limiter to the length of a mission is the amount of hydrogen and oxygen carried to use in the fuel cells.

How many cars could you run on rocket fuel?

Cars have Internal Combustion Engines. You cannot use rocket fuel in this type engine.At this point there is only one car that can run on rocket fuel. NASA has an experimental BMW sedan that can run on liquid hydrogen, better known as the rocket fuel used in the space shuttles...
