The companies presented the new design at the international astronaut congress in Milan. Due to discrepancies regarding the space suit, the planned moon landing was postponed: the trip is now scheduled to take place in 2026, which is intended to act as a pioneer for the American space agency NASA’s early forays to Mars. According to the manufacturer, the design of the outer layer and materials was created through collaborative discussions among industry participants to combine creativity and technology together and “improve the design of the next generation of spacesuits.” During development, Axiom Space used a dark top layer to protect the spacesuit proprietary technology – the completed suit will be made entirely of white material that reflects heat and protects against high temperatures and lunar dust.
