The Artemis III mission will involve a woman wearing a Prada spacesuit.





The Axiom Space website reports that the Italian fashion house Prada will take part in the creation of spacesuits for NASA's Artemis III mission. The mission is scheduled for 2025 and will be the first lunar landing since Apollo 17 in December 1972, as well as the first to land a woman on the Moon.



Axiom Space's CEO said Prada's technical expertise in raw materials, manufacturing techniques and innovative design concepts will bring cutting-edge technology, while also providing "the much-needed human factor missing from legacy spacesuits."





Prada engineers will work side by side with Axiom Space throughout the entire process. The AxEMU suit will provide astronauts with enhanced space exploration capabilities. The new spacesuit will have systems not only for landing on the Moon, but also for its exploration and even living there. The website says that the new spacesuits will make it possible to explore the Moon longer and better.



This is another important step in the exploration of space and the solar system. Twitter users reacted to this news with humor:
