How is a space shuttle a glider?
When the Shuttle returns to earth, it does not use any engine power, it 'glides' back to a safe landing.
Horse power is in a space shuttle?
There is over 37 million horsepower in a Space Shuttle. This amount of horsepower is forced through all of the three Space Shuttle main engines in under 25 seconds.
Are solar panels used in satellites?
Yes, they provide the power needed to operate the satellite systems for the life of the satellite, so are essential.
How does a space shuttle receive electricity when in space?
All spacecraft have power generators to provide electricity and other power they need.
Are there solar panels on the space shuttle?
The space shuttle does not use solar panels . Instead it uses Fuel cells that mix hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity, heat and water. the shuttle could also use Auxiliary Power Units or APU to generate hydraulic power for the aerodynamic control surfaces (elevons, body flap, rudder...)
Has Australia sent up any astronauts?
Australia hasn't sent its own astronauts, but some astronauts that were born in Australia have been in space with missions from other countries. Paul Scully Power was on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984. He was born in Sydney. Andrew Thomas was born in Adelaide and he has been on several Space Shuttle missions and was also on Russia's Mir space station. = =
Why are fuel cells used in spacecrafts?
They supply power to the spacecraft during missions.
What makes a space shuttle lift off from earth?
power pure power

What types of fuel power the space shuttle?
fossil fuels
Do space shuttle use any other power source?
the space shuttle is propeled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen oxidiser.
What is the power source for a landsat satellite?
The power source for a Landsat satellite are four solar panels. Each solar panel was 2.3 meters by 1.5 meters.
Why would your Toshiba Satellite A75-S209 Only run on battery power and not on power supply?
Toshiba satellite A75-S209 is a laptop not dasktop it is run on battery power. I know, but why can't it run off outlet power as well? Thus the question: Why would your Toshiba Satellite A75-S209 ONLY run on battery power and NOT on power supply? It should be able to do both!
What is difference between shuttle power loom and shuttle less power loom?
The shuttle looms require a shuttle which is quite expensive, require experienced labour, is comparatively slower, and the production is less and expensive. Whereas, shuttle less looms do not need a shuttle and hence are less expensive. the labour cost is also less since experience is not required, cloth production is faster and quieter, the quality of fabric is much better and these can produce a fabric with longer length and wider width.
