Prada is designing the next generation of lunar spacesuits
The Italian luxury fashion house is collaborating with aerospace engineers to create the gear for the first human moon landing in over fifty years.
When astronauts return to the lunar surface for the Artemis III mission, they will be wearing equipment designed by an unlikely partner. Prada, the Italian luxury fashion house, has joined forces with Axiom Space to develop the outer layer of the new lunar suits. This collaboration marks a shift in aerospace design, where high-end textile expertise is being used to solve the complex physical challenges of the lunar environment.
