NASA will wear high-tech Prada longwear to the moon

We have seen Axiom Space and Prada collaborating in this area Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) space suit. Now the company has unveiled liquid cooling and ventilation clothing (LCVG) that astronauts will wear underneath when Artemis IV It brings the person back to moon In 2028.

The LCVG is the critical base layer that will keep the crew cool and comfortable while inside the AxEMU and during the spacewalk. Cold water is distributed through pipes built into the suit to draw heat away from the astronauts’ bodies. And if the primary system fails, there is a backup, unlike the old cryogenic suits. The LCVG also houses a ventilation system that supplies fresh oxygen to the AxEMU helmet and directs the emitted carbon dioxide to a scrubber for recycling.

The collaboration between Axiom Space and Prada is not the first time NASA has been involved in a project that blends high-tech materials, manufacturing and haute couture. It also financed Beausuit The concept was created by MIT professor Dava Newman with the help of the famous architect Guillermo Trotti.
