In a groundbreaking partnership between an Italian luxury fashion house and a commercial space company, the space suits will be developed for the Artemis III mission planned for 2025.
Sean McGirr Named Creative Director of Alexander McQueenis collaborating with Axiom Space, the architect of the world’s first commercial space station, on NASA’s lunar space suits for the Artemis III mission.
“Some of my guys went to the Prada show [last month], this set a very high bar till next time some of us come over,” joked Suffredini. Together, Prada and Axiom have to create a suit that is flexible from the inner layer to the outer one, mindful of how the life support system operates, he continued. “It’s a very critical part of human space flight and one of the most challenging areas, and so every part, including even when we talk of fabrics, every layer is critical, if it isn’t critical it wouldn’t be there. We don’t have it for fun.
The AxEMU space suit will provide astronauts with advanced capabilities for space exploration, while offering NASA commercially developed human systems needed to access, live and work on and around the moon., and asked if he could envision this project having the same effect, Bertelli said he was more focused at this stage on thinking long-term. “Our biggest effort is making sure we under-promise and over-deliver. Our first goal is to meet Axiom’s expectations.
