no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.
Sound requires the physical compression and expansion of molecules to be transmitted, it is not electromagnetic energy like light and microwaves. It therefore cannot be transmitted through a vacuum so it cannot have a velocity in space
Yes. Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through a vacuum, they need no medium in order to be transmitted. Unlike sound waves, which are compression waves what rely on matter in order to be transmitted.
Electromagnetic I.e. light
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
space is a vacuum, and sound can't move through a vacuum.

No "space" is mostly a vacuum. No sound is transmitted in a vacuum. You would not hear a starship exploding either!
A pressure wave in a substance- a Primary or P wave. A vacuum is an absence of substance- nothing there to compress.

Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
The communication was done using radio signals which can be transmitted in a vacuum. Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, as are light waves, x-rays and microwaves. Just as light from far distance stars travel through empty space and reach your eyes, so can radio waves travel through space to a radio receiver.
Heat is a form of energy. It can be transmitted through space but it does not occupy space.
