"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).

Space satellites rely on this type of energy?

Space satellites rely on solar energy for power. Solar panels on the satellite convert sunlight into electricity to power the various systems onboard. The use of solar energy allows satellites to operate efficiently in space where other energy sources may not be available.


Do Orbiting satellites use geothermal energy panels?

No, orbiting satellites do not use geothermal energy panels. They typically use solar panels to harness solar energy for power generation. Geothermal energy is derived from the heat of the Earth's core and is not used in space-based applications like satellites.


How do satellites get their energy?

Satellites typically use solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. This electricity is used to power the satellite's systems and keep it running while in space. Some satellites may also have batteries for storing energy to use when not exposed to sunlight.


How do scientists send satellites into space?

they used to use the space shuttle but now they use unmaned space craft or the russians/ESA european space agency


How do astronomers abtain most of their information about space?

We use telescopes or satellites


Why do we have to use satellites to veiw objects in space?

We do not HAVE to use satellites. You can look up and see the sun or stars - depending on the time of day - using only your eyes.


What do you use to gather info from space?

artificial satellites , probes, telescope etc


Is Solar energy harnessed to run calculators using solar satellites?

No, solar energy for calculators is typically harnessed using small solar cells built into the calculator. Solar satellites, on the other hand, are used to capture solar energy in space and then convert it into electricity for use on Earth, often on a larger scale for powering homes and buildings.


Why satellites launched in east side?

Satellites are launched in east direction to use earths rotational velocity and to reduce launch energy.


What is a cargo that rides in the nose of a rocket?

Currently, we use the cargo space of rockets for satellites.


What objects use gravitational energy?

Objects like planets, stars, and galaxies use gravitational energy to hold themselves together and maintain their positions in space. This energy is also utilized by objects that are in motion due to gravity, such as satellites orbiting around a planet or a moon orbiting around a planet.


What is the possible use for rockets now?

Fireworks. Launching satellites. Servicing the International Space Station.
