Prada, the Italian luxury fashion house, has been selected by NASA to design space suits for its upcoming Artemis III mission to the Moon. The mission, which is scheduled to launch in 2025, will be the first crewed mission to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.
Prada will work with Axiom Space, a commercial space company, to design the new space suits. Axiom Space is developing a new generation of space suits for both NASA and commercial customers.
The new space suits will be more comfortable and mobile than previous designs, and they will also be more durable. They will also be equipped with new technologies that will allow astronauts to explore the Moon and other celestial bodies more safely and efficiently.
Prada is known for its innovative and stylish designs, and the company is excited to bring its expertise to the design of new space suits.
“We are honored to have been selected by NASA to design space suits for the Artemis III mission,” said Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group’s Chief Marketing Officer. “This is a unique opportunity to combine our expertise in fashion and design with NASA’s cutting-edge space technology.”
The Artemis III mission is part of NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and establish a sustainable presence there. The Artemis program will also lay the groundwork for future human missions to Mars and other deep space destinations.
The selection of Prada to design space suits for the Artemis III mission is a sign of NASA’s commitment to innovation and its desire to partner with the private sector. It is also a testament to Prada’s reputation as a leader in fashion and design.
The new space suits designed by Prada will be a critical part of the Artemis III mission, and they will help to ensure the safety and success of the astronauts.
