A communication system is described for emergency use on the moon that includes three transceivers. One of the transceivers is carried by an astronaut and another is positioned at a base camp. The system also includes a hand-held launcher and rocket vehicle that is utilized by the astronaut to launch a third relay transceiver in an upward trajectory above the lunar surface. The relay transceiver is mounted in the rocket vehicle and relays voice communications between the two transceivers located on the lunar surface.
