What type of satellite provides power for shuttle missions?
Satellites don't provide power for space shuttles. The shuttle could receive power from the international space station, but besides that, the shuttle wouldn't take any power from any satellites.
Does a space shuttle have a battery?
Yes, a space shuttle has batteries onboard to provide power when it is not in direct sunlight or when solar panels are not providing power. These batteries are rechargeable and are used to power various systems on the shuttle.
How does a space shuttle receive electricity when in space?
The space shuttle receives electricity from its solar panels, which convert sunlight into electrical power. The solar panels are located on the surface of the shuttle and capture sunlight to generate the energy needed for the shuttle's systems and activities.
Compare the the Saturn V rocket to Space Shuttle Why can't the shuttle travel to the moon?
The space shuttle was never designed to fly to the moon. The booster rocket for the shuttle did not have enough power to fly to the moon, as it was designed to launch the shuttle into low earth orbit. To enter Earth orbit a spacecraft needs to go 17,500 mph. To climb out of Earth's gravity well and fly to the moon, a spacecraft needs to go 24,000 mph. While those numbers seem close, they are not when it comes to rocket power. The shuttle would have needed many thousands of pounds more rocket fuel to launch to the moon and even more to turn around and come back home. The shuttle couldn't fly to the moon because it was never designed to do so. The Saturn V, on the other hand, was.
Is the Space Shuttle an airplane?
No, the Space Shuttle is not an airplane in the classic sense. The Shuttle cannot "fly" from place to place like an airplane -- it must be carried from place to place on Earth on the back of an airplane. By the classic definition, an airplane is craft that uses power (engines) to push or pull it through the air while using the "lift" created on the wings to keep it aloft (in the air). The Shuttle uses power during launch, but like a rocket, pushing it up -- the wings are not used to keep it aloft. During reentry power is not pushing it through the air, it is sailing through the air (using the lift on its wings) like a big glider. So, at no time is the Shuttle being pushed through the air while using its wings for lift.
What made New England a prime location for the American Mills?
New England had some fast running streams that could power the mills. It had Francis Cabot Lowell that went to England to see how mills ran there. It also had young women that needed a job to run the mills.
What was used to power mills at Lowell?
The power for the machines in the mill is provided by nuclear energy. Diesel may be used as fuel or some may use electric current to power the mill machines.
Did the textile mill change workers lives?
In 1821, the Boston Associates purchased land and rights to the Pawtucket Canal located north of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The Associates built several textile mills and enlarged the Canal for water power. The first mills opened in 1823, and for the next 25 years more mills and a network of power canals were built. By 1848, Lowell was the largest industrial center in America! The mills produced 50,000 miles of cotton cloth each year. The Associates needed a large work force for the busy mills. They decided to run their mills using a work force of young women recruited from New England farms. Lowell was known around the world for this innovative solution. Lowell "Mill Girls" were asked to work in the factories for a few years, then return to the farms or marry. Mill girls filled the city of Lowell, living in boardinghouses managed by the corporations. Mill life meant a hard day's work in which girls followed a strict schedule marked by the ringing of bells. Mill girls were expected to follow the company rules for curfew, church attendance and proper behavior.

The first textile mill was started by who?
In the United States, the first textile mill was established by Francis Cabot Lowell. Lowell visited England in the early 1800s, and toured textile mills while pretending to be an idiot. When he returned to the United States, he gave detailed descriptions and engineering drawings to a man named Paul Moody, creating spinning devices and a power loom. In order to raise the money for the mill, Lowell sold shares of stock in his company, an innovative approach at the time that later became the primary way capital is raised for corporations. The textile mill itself became the basis for the town of Lowell, Massachussetts, named for Francis Cabot Lowell. Lowell employed many women in his mills, which was also innovative at the time. He was able to pay women less than men, but women also benefited from the small measure of independence and camaraderie with other women.
What type of satellite provides power for shuttle missions?

What can wind mill power?
Wind mills have traditionally been used to power grain mills, saw mills, and small manufacturing mills. A wind mill can also be used as a wind turbine, to generate electricity.

Why were most mills in the northwest built near river?
water was used to power the mills because it was the only source of power in most cases.
What has the author C Wright Mills written?
C. Wright Mills has written: 'The power elite'
What makes a space shuttle lift off from earth?
power pure power
Did the North have power mills in 1861?
Yes, steam and water power
