How does the crew communicate with mission control in Houston?
Like in the movie Apollo 13 how to they communicate to the space shuttle?
 
They communicate using radio. They use the S-band of the radio wave spectrum.

The S band ranges from 2 to 4 GHz, crossing the (artificial) boundary between UHF and SHF at 3.0 GHz. It is part of the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The S band is used by weather radar and some communications satellites, especially those used by NASA to communicate with the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.
