"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).

Can you use bus bar in satellite?
Yes, busbars can be used on satellites just like it is used for ground use. But, it should be space qualified..
How many satellites are there in space?
That depends on what you call a satellite. The correct use of the word simply means an object caught in earths orbit. If this is what you are looking for there are litterally tens of thousands of objects from small meteorites to lost tools and rocket stages floating in orbit. So much so that it is now becomming increasingly dangerous to put new vehicles in space as the debris orbits at around 17000 miles per hour. If man made satellites for communications is what you are searching for then thats difficult to gauge. It's unlikely that most countries will admit to placing spy satellites in space to the true figure is difficult to say, but The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit. Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.
What does a satellite engineer do?
A satellite transmits and receives transmitted signals sent by broadcasters to provide information to accessing areas. it looks at stars and the moon. it tells the scientists what is out of space.
There were no satellites 100 years ago What modern technologies are needed do that you can launch and use satellites?
Large rockets, computer control, compact fuel.
Which satellite does DISH TV use?
There are many satellites that Dish Network uses.
Do Orbiting satellites use geothermal energy panels?
No, geothermal means heat from under the ground. Satellites use solar panels.
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
What do scientists use to launch satellite into space?
Rockets primarily are used to launch satellites into space. Alternatively, the space shuttle is used for very large satellites, but that option will no longer be available when the fleet is retired at the end of 2010.
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 energy is made from space shuttles?
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
What is the possible use for rockets now?
Fireworks. Launching satellites. Servicing the International Space Station.
What tegnology advances have been invented because of space exploration?
Communications, using satellites. Miniturisation, space saving and low power use of electronics, required for use in space vehicles. Medical chemicals researched in space.
How does satellite technology use a transponder?
Satellite technology uses a transponder to receive sings and then transfer them to satellites in other locations. They are used for purposes of space satellites and GPS.
