Can you get FM radio in space?

Yes, if you have a FM radio to listen with. Low frequency radio waves(lower than) -/+ 50 mHz do not make it into outer space. FM radio is 88 to 108 mHz and so passes freely past the ionosphere and into space.

Does NASA have a radio station?

NASA’s Third Rock Radio just got mobile. Updates to the NASA App for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android now include a feature to listen to the agency’s new online alternative rock radio station.

Can astronauts listen to the radio in space?

Most of the astronauts on the International Space Station are licenced Radio Amateurs and sometimes during their spare time they talk to other Radio Amateurs back on earth. There is a special thrill in talking to an astronaut out in space!

Can you listen to music in space?

No, you cannot hear any sounds in near-empty regions of space. Sound travels through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space, where there is no air, sound has no way to travel.

Would an FM radio work on the moon?

Sure. If talking about FM broadcast often the station puts out 100,000 watts, that is Effective Radiated Power and that is more than enough to make it to the moon. But most FM stations do not beam their transmissions in the direction of the moon except when it is to the horizon.

What is the third rock radio?

Third Rock Radio is a recognized New Media phenomenon attracting the brightest and best, tech-savvy young adults. Third Rock’s audience is a blend of scientists, engineers, researchers, innovators and astronauts, together with students and music lovers everywhere, all of whom share a love for the new and undiscovered.

What frequency is the ISS Ham radio on?

145.80 MHz
As mentioned above, the transceiver on board the ISS is tuned to transmit radio signals at a frequency of 145.80 MHz. “Anybody with a receiver or scanner able to tune into that frequency can listen to the space station when it’s overhead,” Ransom said.

Is there any medium in space?

The common explanation for this is that space is a vacuum and so there’s no medium for sound to travel through. Space is never completely empty – there are a few particles and sound waves floating around.

What is NASA frequency?

It broadcasts on 145.800 MHz. When the astronauts are not transmitting, a packet module serves as a relay for the computer messages of amateur operators on the ground.

Would a radio work on the moon?

In short: Frequencies lower than about 30 mHz would be reflected/refracted/absorbed by Earth’s ionosphere and wouldn’t make it to the moon. This includes AM broadcast, most shortwave, as well as lower frequencies such as the longwave stations of Europe.
