NASA unveils new spacesuit ahead of Artemis III moon mission - BBC News

NASA has unveiled a brand new spacesuit design that astronauts will wear on future missions to the moon. 

The suits are part of NASA’s Artemis programme which hopes to return astronauts to the surface of the moon in 2025. 

Comfort and mobility are at the heart of the new design with the new helmet offering better visibility and the boots updated specifically for moon walking.

I like the orange visibility stripes, that will stop aliens from running them over...

I feel honored to be part of the species that actually travels to space and walks on the moon. Crazy to think about

I’m astonished of science in US. America really great country. With respect from Ukraine.

This definietly has prequel space movie vibes all over it.

With all those orangey, flashy bits this suit is certainly Artemis.

Looks like it's from a 1950s sci-fi comic book about the future.

It's mindblowing to think that this will be the only layer between certain death and a "comfortable" breathable space

[RealUlrichLeland]

If you think about it, spacesuits are essentially tiny spaceships that have life support and propulsion.

A great time for science, engineering and space exploration

Let me know when the tracksuit version comes out. Artemis joggers 👍🤟✌️ ❤️🌍

I can't wait to witness man on the moon in my lifetime for the first time.

And now we also have computer modelling to make sure the suit'll work like intended.

50 years we went to the moon but now its taking forever😂

[caio]

Good idea to insulate them
Whoever thought of that deserves a promotion 😂

[brainstemriff]

Desperately want them to keep the design they just presented but white makes sense from a practicality standpoint because you want to minimise as much solar intake as possible

[noxtorism]

Looks like something that someone would wear on a mission too Mars. Going by that, if we start manned missions too mars i think we should start too colour code space-suits

[autophyte]

They should keep the black. Black accessorizes with anything. It's a classic, it never goes out of style. Good for day or evening wear.

Very nice information love USA and NASA from Ahiyapur Muzaffarpur Bihar India

Now, I am not an engineer, especially not a space suit engineer. I have read though it is 100+ Celsius in direct Sunlight on the Moon. I can only imagine the thermal insulation and cooling system those suits must have.
