NASA’s mission to send humans to the Moon again by 2028 may face a setback. According to the US audit report, the production of new space suits of ‘Axiom Space’ may be delayed till 2031. However, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has expressed confidence that by 2028, astronauts will land on the moon in these suits. Know the features of space suit.
– Italian fashion company ‘Prada’ is also involved in the project of making NASA’s new space suit. He has worked on the fabric and design of the suit.
7 special things about NASA’s new XEMU
– Liquid cooling system – Inside the suit, there will be a special undergarment with ‘liquid cooling’ system, which will control the body temperature. – Smart Shoes – Special ‘smart’ shoes will provide good grip on the lunar surface. There will be no need to jump and walk like in the previous mission. – Waste Management System There will be toilet backup of 8 hours. That means you will be able to work without taking off your suit. Will keep you safe even in cold up to minus 2000.
– fabric Moon dust is sharp and sticky like glass pieces. The outer fabric of the suit will allow fine moon dust to stick less.
– Rear Anti System The new suit will have a ‘rear entry’ system. That means the astronauts will enter the suit from the back. It will be easy to wear and take off.
– special suit – At the time of Apollo mission, suits were made according to men only. Both male and female astronauts will be able to wear the new suit.
– smart helmet The helmet will have HD camera, lights and 4G/LTE communication system, which will improve connectivity and recording.
Why is there a delay in making the suit for Artemis-3 mission?
The new space suit has to be made such that it can work in the weightless conditions of the lunar surface and space. In 2022, NASA had given this project to ‘Axiom Space’ and ‘Collins Aerospace’, but later Collins separated from it. Now the burden of the entire project is on the company ‘Axiom Space’, due to which testing and development is getting delayed.
What is Artemis-3 mission?
In this, astronauts will be landed on the south pole of the Moon for the first time. The aim is to establish a permanent base there.
