NASA unveils new astronaut suits
New astronaut suits designed by NASA and Axiom Space were introduced. The new space suits, designed to be worn by people with different body structures, also stand out as they are much more durable than their predecessors.
The first thing that attracts attention in the introduced space suits is the color. The new space suits come in black, blue and orange colors. However, let us remind you that these are just prototypes. The final version of the outfit will likely be all white.
The new space suits designed by NASA and Axiom Space draw attention especially with the protection they provide to astronauts. It is stated that the new design can easily cope with the extreme cold that occurs in the shadows of the Moon. In addition, the new space suit will facilitate the work of astronauts with its lights and HD camera.
With the flight planned to take place in December 2025, humanity is preparing to return to the Moon once again. It will be the first manned mission to the Moon since Apollo 17’s 1972 visit. As part of the Artemis III mission, she will be the first woman and the first black astronaut to set foot on the Moon.
