What kind of waves to scientists send to robots on other planets - and

Normal microwave radio. The current probes use 'X' band microwaves, the same as are used in some radar speed traps. There is no 'shape bending radiation' in space. There is bending caused by gravity, but the amount is tiny, till you get close to a really strong gravitational field like the Sun. The same bending applies to light, and the measured positions of the planets (using light), all agreed with the positions generated by Newton's equations, till you get in to Mercury, where it's position showed a 'mismatch', which for a while people thought might be caused by another planet inside it's orbit. When the effects of gravity were at last understood, and allowed for, the positions, matched the measurements. The beam angles involved in any practical communication system, are large enough, to deal with any small errors. Best Wishes |
