they cant use a cell phone cause 1 they have a terrible reception 2 they have no reception in space 3 radio hasa larde antena that helps communicate farther away plus sattlelights can also help with the radio 4 how are they gonna get a cell phone in their helmets they have to pretty much leave them on the whole time
5 cell phones charge more money a min

First, I have been retired for over a decade, and am often asked by young people what was the most important thing to study in school / highschool / university. I studied physics and the related math and so on, but in retrospect, the language arts (literature and especially composition and speech classes were the most important to my success (and rewarding retirement).

Why? Because without them I would have been unable to understand the work done by others, and unable to convey the results of my work to others as well. If no one "bought" my proposals, I wouldn't have been able to keep a good job and get paid well for it.

Now, why did I write all this? It is critical especially in scientific pursuits to follow the conventions and rules of language (spelling, grammar, using words the way they are defined in dictionaries), if you want to be understood.

Now, to what you may have been asking about. Cell phones are radios, which use "cell sites" to relay communications between the cell phones and between cell phones and land-line phones.
Radios as used by astronauts permit direct communications between the radios without a cell site involvement.

When ISS or space shuttle astronauts communicate with their ground control colleagues, they use a relay satellite system called "TDRS" for Tracking and Data Relay Satellite" so there is no need for the large earth network that was used back in the days of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.
