Microwave signals are being sent through space through electromagnetic waves and not through optical waves. This type of signal is being used mainly in communications because of its narrower beams compared to other signals.

What is the primary cause of signal loss in satellite communication?
Free Space Loss is the primary source of signal loss in satellites. As the signal propagates through the atmosphere it disperses. With normal terrestrial antennas, the distance is so short that this is rarely an issue. However, the great distances that satellites must communicate over make this a major problem for global space-based communication.

Can microwave travel through vacuum?
A microwave is near the "red" side of the electromagnetic scale. All electromagnetic travels at the same rate. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation which travels through a vacuum (space). Thereofore, being a part of electormagnetic radiation, microwaves will travel through a vacuum.

In space, there is no interference by Earth's atmosphere.
Why are optical telescopes not used on earth or in space?
Actually they are.
