Link: Prada helped make a spacesuit

Space travel is about to get a significant style update with Axiom Space’s new spacesuit designed in partnership with Prada. The suit, known as AxEMU, is engineered to endure the harsh lunar South Pole environment while adding a touch of elegance.

Prada contributed its expertise in high-performance materials to enhance the suit's outer layer. This collaboration aims not only to protect astronauts but also to inspire future space explorations visually.

Equipped with cutting-edge features, the suit includes a helmet with integrated lights, an HD camera, and 4G/LTE communication capabilities. The gloves and boots are custom-made for optimal performance in lunar conditions.

The design accommodates a wide variety of body sizes, suggesting a new standard in spacewear versatility. This innovative approach allows for a more inclusive range of astronauts to participate in missions.

While it will be some time before these suits make their moon debut, astronauts will sport the AxEMU design on NASA's Artemis III mission. The mission is slated for no earlier than September 2026, marking a new era in fashionable space travel.

With spacesuits becoming both functional and fashionable, the intersection of technology and style is set to captivate the imagination of many. This development heralds a future where space travel embraces broader aesthetic and functional horizons. #
