NASA Astronauts will be sporting brand-new spacesuits when they head to space for the Artemis III mission in 2025.
The orange, blue, and black spacesuits called the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit were unveiled during an event Wednesday at Space Center Houston in Texas. NASA selected Axiom Space to develop the modern suits that were put on display at the event allowing students and media to ask questions.
The Artemis III mission will be NASA's first human mission to the lunar South Pole, making history as they send the first woman and first person of color to the moon. The rocket propelled an empty crew capsule into a wide orbit around the moon and splashed back down onto earth in December 2021.
