How did they communicate from the moon?

Communication between the LEM and astronauts performing EVA was facilitated by a small VHF antenna deployed by the first crewman down the ladder. On later missions, of course, a somewhat smaller deployable S-band antenna was carried by the Lunar Roving Vehicle.

How does Mission Control communicate with astronauts?

Messages travel through space as radio waves, just like the radio waves that you receive with a car radio. Each spacecraft has a transmitter and a receiver for radio waves as well as a way of interpreting the information received and acting on it. NASA has huge radio receivers to gather information from space missions.

What did Neil Armstrong say to Mission Control?

The saying was first made popular when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon for the first time alongside Buzz Aldrin. He said, “The Eagle has landed,” to tell NASA Mission Control Center that the pair had made a safe trip to the moon on July 20, 1969.

Do cell phones work on the moon?

You wouldn’t be able to use your normal phone made to operate at 1 atmosphere plus or minus a little pressure, in the near vaccum of moon for much longer. The LCD, the plastics, the mainboard, and the battery would all outgas and either be damaged or destroyed. All volatile condensable materials may vaporize.

How long does it take to talk to someone on the moon?

The commonly cited average distance between the earth & the moon is ~238,000 miles. Light travels at ~186,282.4 miles per second. If you used the best electronics available & sent the message via encoded light then it would take ~1.3 seconds (i.e. 238k/186k) for the message to traverse the distance one way.

How do astronauts communicate?

Because there is nothing out in space (like an atmosphere), the sound waves from one astronaut’s whistling can’t travel over to the other astronaut’s ears. That’s why the astronauts use radios to communicate—even if they’re floating in space right next to each other!

What did Neil Armstrong say when they finally landed on the Moon?

‘We came in peace for all mankind’ In an expression of humanity’s higher moral hope, Armstrong stated, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon. July 1969 AD.

Why is there WiFi on the moon?

Since our atmosphere bends the signal as it travels to the moon, the four telescopes transmit the light through different columns of air, each with different bending effects. This setup increases the chance that at least one of the laser beams will interact with the receiver, and establish a connection with the moon.

Is there WiFi on Mars?

The Martian settlement can, therefore, be connected to the terrestrial Internet, which in fact makes it an Interplanetary Internet.
