NASA's First Spacesuit Redesign in 40 Years.

NASA has revealed a prototype of the newly designed spacesuits for the Artemis III mission, which is slated to take place in 2025. The spacesuit is sleeker than those designed by SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic. The prototype was designed by Axiom Space and features an off-black fabric with blaze-orange and sky-blue detailing. The actual suit will have a white external layer to reflect heat from the sun. The suit is designed to accommodate a broad range of crew members and is the first NASA spacesuit specifically designed to fit a woman. The boots will feature special insulated soles made to withstand the below-freezing temperatures of the sunless lunar south pole.
