Space expeditions are now going to be stylish, thanks to a partnership between Italian luxury brand Prada and Axiom Space (the developer of the first commercial space station) to make NASA spacesuits. Pretty interesting, right? Take a look at the details.
Prada designs NASA spacesuits
It is revealed that Prada and Axiaom Space will make spacesuits for NASA astronauts for the Artemis III mission, which is set for 2025. This is not the only highlight of the mission; The Artemis III mission will also be the first to send a woman to the Moon. This is also the first manned lunar mission since Apollo 17 in December 1972.
Prada will work with Axiom Space to understand the design process and materials to be used for the spacesuits so that the astronauts remain protected from challenging space and lunar environmental conditions.
Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group Marketing Director, said: "Prada's ever-advancing ethos for humanity has broadened into his desire for adventure and to brave new horizons: space. We are honored to be part of this historic mission with Axiom Space. Our decades of experimental, cutting-edge technology and design know-how – which began back in the 90s with Luna Rossa challenging for the America's Cup – will now be applied to the design of a spacesuit for the Artemis era, a true tribute to the power of human creativity and innovation to advance civilization."
