NASA and Axiom Unveil New Spacesuits for Artemis Moon Mission

NASA has unveiled a new spacesuit prototype, designed by Axiom Space, for the first astronauts expected to venture back to the moon's surface in the next few years as part of the Artemis program. The new suits are more streamlined and flexible than the old Apollo suits, with greater range of motion and variability in size and fit. They are designed to fit a broad range of potential wearers, accommodating at least 90% of the US male and female population, and will incorporate advances in life-support systems, pressure garments and avionics. The precise look of the suits remains a closely guarded trade secret.
