Question
What space exploration problems have radio telescopes helped with?

Answer
Hi Briar

This sounds suspiciously like a homework question.  But once you understand that radio waves are just another kind of radiation in the universe, you can see that radio telescopes have been used to measure the heat of the universe, see objects that are invisible in visible light, detect radiation from other planets, and even map the entire universe in the radio spectrum.
