when they land , so they can communicate with each other.

The term "Walkie Talkie" is a colloquialism which refers to a hand portable transceiver. Since every spacesuit is fitted with a hands-free transceiver then it is fair to say that they are always using one when suited up.

Why can't astronauts communicate with each other in outer space?

Astronauts can communicate with each other in outer space using radio waves. However, the lack of atmosphere in space means there is no medium for sound to travel through, so they can't talk to each other in the same way we do on Earth. Instead, they use radio communication systems built into their spacesuits or spacecraft.


Why do astronauts have radio transmitters when they are on moon?

So they can talk to each other and Earth, even though there is no air.Astronauts have radio transmitters on moon as they cannot communicate with each other.Sound cannot travel if there is no air. As there is no air on the moon astronauts need radio transmitters when they are on moon.


How can astronauts communicate with earth if sound does not travel in a vacuum?

Astronauts communicate with Earth using radio waves, which can travel through the vacuum of space. Radio signals are transmitted from spacecraft to ground stations on Earth, enabling astronauts to communicate in real-time with mission control and other support teams.


Why astronauts use radio waves rather than sound waves?

Sound waves need air or another material to travel through, or they go nowhere. Astronauts do their job in places without air, so they couldn't be heard by simply talking.


Do astronauts still use the radio to communicate or was it in the ancient days?

Firstly, neither astronauts or radio existed in ancient times. Secondly, radio has always been used by astronauts and continues to be so, because it is the only thing that works across the distances and through the vacuum.


How do astronauts communicate in space?

Astronauts mainly communicate in space using radio waves. They use radios to talk to mission control on Earth and to communicate with each other inside the spacecraft. They can also use video conferencing and email for communication purposes.


Do astronauts on the far side of the moon have good radio contact with earth?

What other modes of communication astronauts can use when they are outside the space shuttle?

Two astronauts sitting in the same space ship can communicate by mouth ... at least while it's full of air ... or by passing notes. As soon as they put on their space suits, though, or if they feel like talking to anyone on earth or in another spaceship, radio is the only way. However, they could revert back to "archaic" technologies like sign language or perish the thought semaphore.
