Prada-made cooling layer sets the stage for Moon-bound AxEMU suits
TL;DR Summary
Axiom Space and Prada unveiled the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), the base layer for the AxEMU spacesuit that will equip astronauts on Artemis IV lunar missions in 2028. The LCVG circulates cold water to wick heat, provides a backup cooling system, and houses the helmet ventilation with CO2 scrubbing to keep crewmembers cool and comfortable during spacewalks and inside the suit.
