The return to the Moon of a manned mission will be accompanied by a new “look” for moonwalks
NASA is preparing for a boarded mission to set foot on the Moon again, including the first woman, within the framework of its Artemis program.
This new generation of space journeys will include a renewal in space suits.
NASA and Axiom Space will reveal the prototype of this new spacesuit on Wednesday, March 15 at a televised event.
“NASA selected Axiom Space to provide a moonwalking system that allows astronauts to land near the South Pole (of the Moon). Statements from experts from NASA and Axiom Space are planned during the reveal activities, as well as a demonstration of the suit, as well as questions and answers.
Historic moment for NASA
NASA maintains its moonwalking suit from more than 40 years ago, the days of the Apollo missions.
These space suits will also be used by their crew members on the International Space Station (ISS), preparing them for the Artemis missions.
The Artemis 3 mission, planned for at least 2025, is expected to mean the return of humans to the Moon.
