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.
NASA plans to resume crewed Moon missions with Artemis III in 2027 to test rendezvous/docking with private lunar landers, followed by Artemis IV and Artemis V in 2028 to target the Moon’s south pole for a potential base and to use ice as water and rocket fuel, marking a major step toward a sustained lunar presence and the first lunar surface mission since 1972.
NASA tested a crucial payload adapter at the Marshall Space Flight Center as part of preparations for the Artemis IV lunar mission, which aims to establish the Gateway space station to facilitate future lunar and Mars exploration. The adapter connects spacecraft to the launch vehicle and is undergoing quality checks before final assembly, supporting NASA's plans to launch astronauts via the Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket.
