ITALIA - PRADA - PREZENTARE - COSTUM DE ASTRONAUT
October 16, 2024: The ‘Prada spacesuit’ which will be worn by the first astronauts to return to The Moon in more than half a century has been unveiled in Milan, Italy. It is a collaboration between Axiom Space and the Italian fashion firm...At the International Astronautical Congress in Milan, Italy, Axiom Space and Prada revealed for the first time on Wednesday (16October2024) the flight design of the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit that will be used for NASA’s Artemis III mission - which could return astronauts to the Moon as early as 2026.. .“Our elite teams have redefined spacesuit development, establishing new pathways to innovative solutions and applying a state-of-the-art design approach for the AxEMU,†said Matt Ondler, Axiom Space President. “We have broken the mold. The Axiom Space-Prada partnership has set a new foundational model for cross-industry collaboration, further expanding what’s possible in commercial space.â€. .During development, Axiom Space used a dark cover layer for display purposes only to conceal the suit’s proprietary technology. However, they have now revealed that the spacesuit worn on the lunar surface will be made from a white material that reflects heat and protects astronauts from extreme high temperatures and lunar dust.. .Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility said, “Going beyond our limits is one of the company’s values that perfectly reflects the spirit of the Prada brand and my parents’ vision. I’m very proud of the result we’re showing today, which is just the first step in a long-term collaboration with Axiom Space. We’ve shared our expertise on high-performance materials, features, and sewing techniques, and we learned a lot. I’m sure we’ll continue to explore new challenges, broaden our horizons, and build new scenario (Credit Image:
