TL;DR Summary

NASA has unveiled a new prototype for a next-generation spacesuit, designed for the Artemis mission, which aims to return humans to the Moon by late 2025. The new suits, developed by Axiom Space, are more streamlined and flexible than the old Apollo suits, with a greater range of motion and variability in size and fit. The pressurised garment has multiple protective layers, a backpack with life-support systems, lights, and a high-definition video camera mounted on top of the bubble-shaped helmet. The suits will be tested in a "spacelike environment" prior to their use for the Moon mission.
