Italian luxury fashion brand Prada has announced that it will work with Axiom Space to design and develop NASA's next generation lunar spacesuit for the upcoming Artemis III lunar mission in 2025, CTOnews.com reported on October 7.

CTOnews.com noted that in a joint statement, the luxury fashion brand announced that its engineers would work with Axiom Space's space systems team to design and develop a new Axiom extravehicular activity vehicle (AxEMU) spacesuit.

The next-generation spacesuit has been described as a revolutionary "major milestone" in space exploration, opening up new frontiers for luxury fashion brands.

"Prada's technical expertise in raw materials, manufacturing technology and innovative design concepts will make an important contribution to ensuring astronauts' comfort on the lunar surface and the advanced technology needed for traditional spacesuits that lack human considerations," said Michael Sufredini, chief executive of Axiom Space.

The next-generation spacesuit is designed to protect crew members from "unique challenges to the space and lunar environment", while providing "greater flexibility" and "better protection" against harsh lunar environments.

"with innovative technology and design, these spacesuits will enable the exploration of the lunar surface to go deeper than ever before," Axiom Space said.

The 2025 Artemis III lunar mission will be the first lunar landing since 1971, and NASA aims to land "the first woman and the first man of color" on the lunar surface. At that time, they will stay on the moon for a week and then return to Earth.

Before the departure of Artemis III in 2025, Artemis II will carry four crew members on a mission to "fly around the moon", including the first woman and the first person of color who will eventually land on the moon.
