HST didn't get extra panels; the original arrays were replaced during HST Servicing Mission 2 in 1997, due to extreme warping of the arrays caused by thermal changes in space as HST moved through the Earth's terminator (the point in orbit where night becomes day, and day becomes night) every 97 minutes.
The replacement arrays were themselves replaced on one of the last 2 servicing missions, to ensure power for as long as possible until HST is brought down in the next few years.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you think the hubble telescope might need an extra solar panel?
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.
How does the Hubble get electricity?
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.
Why is the hubble space telescope so special?
-Because it was the fist telescope that can see outside our solar system.
What is the energy source for Hubble Space Telescope?
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.
What provides powers for the Hubble space telescope?
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.
Why do you think the hubble telescope might need an extra solar panel?
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.
Why does the hubble space telescope has solar panel?
So it can gather energy off the Sun and store it in the panels.
Are there solar panels on the hubble telescope?
yes there are 2 large solar panels on the side of the Hubble space telescope.
How does the Hubble get electricity?
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.
What is the largest satellite in your solar system?
The largest satellite in our solar system is the Hubble Space Telescope.
Why is the hubble space telescope so special?
-Because it was the fist telescope that can see outside our solar system.
How does hubble space telescope gets it power to operate?
It uses solar panels.
What is the energy source for Hubble Space Telescope?
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.
What astronomy word begins with h?
Helium, Hydrogen (elements in stars and planets). Hubble (astronomer and telescope). Hercules (constellation) Heliocentric theory. Hypergiant (star). HR diagram.
How might the Hubble Space Telescope change today's model of the solar system?
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided invaluable data on various bodies in our solar system, leading to a deeper understanding of their composition, behavior, and interactions. By capturing high-resolution images and studying the dynamics of celestial bodies, the Hubble telescope continues to refine and enhance our current model of the solar system.
What object would help us see stars and planets in your solar system more clearly?
a telescope because if you never heard of the Hubble telescope that is like the international telescope.
What is inexhaustible energy resources that is used to power the Hubble space telescope?
Solar energy, all space equipment uses solar panels
