Artemis spacesuits unveiled for moon mission, will not return to Earth.
TL;DR Summary
The spacesuits worn by the first woman and next American astronaut to walk on the moon during the 2025 Artemis III lunar landing mission will not be returned to Earth for reuse or museum display. Instead, they will be abandoned on a SpaceX lunar lander due to weight constraints. Axiom Space, the company selected by NASA to design, build and furnish the spacesuits, will own the assets and may dispose of them as they choose. This is part of NASA's commercialization initiative to enable the sale of services to others.
