The next generation spacesuit. @NASA selected @Axiom_Space to develop the suits for the Artemis III mission to the lunar surface. The first prototype was revealed today during an event at Space Center Houston in Texas. bit.ly/3TkcUt9
@NASA_Johnson @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Question, is black a color u want to wear in +200 degrees? I know there is a cooling system but i thought there was a reason most suits are white.
@TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Great Q! Though this prototype uses a dark gray cover material, the final version will likely be all-white when worn to help keep astronauts safe and cool while working in the harsh environment of space.
@NASA_Johnson @TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Contract was based on prototype that is of dark color to appear politically correct 🤣🤣
@NASA_Johnson @TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Why not silver? Too shiny?
@NASA_Johnson @TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Confused as to why the prototype wasn’t just in all white then? Would’ve been cool to see it modernly resemble the Apollo suits.
@NASA_Johnson @TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Aha! 🤓🥵🫠
@NASA_Johnson @TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis Great.But I think the suit should be thicker or provide some materials that are resistant to the harsh environment there
@NASA_Johnson @TomSMustache @NASA_Astronauts @NASA @Axiom_Space @NASAArtemis I agree that they should not be black/ Dark grey.
