STEMonstrations: Communication | NASA |

Ever wonder how astronauts communicate with people on Earth? In this STEMonstration UAE astronaut, Sultan Alneyadi demonstrates how the crew on the International Space Station communicates with family, friends, and Mission Control. Back on Earth, Astronaut Megan McArthur answers Alneyadi’s call to demonstrate how two-way communication works between the space station and the ground!

Electromagnetic waves also aid communication with satellites, space stations, and rovers. Explore how we communicate with them, and how the distance between those objects and the Earth can cause a delay in communication!
