First EVA spacesuit designed in 40 years<\/h2>\n

Not to be confused with IVA (intravehicular activity) spacesuits or flight suits, the suit you see astronauts wear inside spacecraft during launch, EVA (extravehicular activity) spacesuits are designed to be worn outside of the vehicle on spacewalks or, in this case, on the Moon\u2019s surface. Made by Axiom Space, a company building its own space station and launching private crews to the International Space Station, they will have the honor of their suit being used on Artemis 3, the first crewed lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.<\/p>\n

The current EVA suit, the Extravehicular Mobility Unit, was designed for use on the Space Shuttle in the 1980s and has been used since on the ISS. Before this suit, NASA used a modified version of the Apollo spacesuit used to walk on the Moon\u2019s surface for EVAs.<\/p>\n

This suit will differ from previous EVA suits as it will not be owned by NASA but by Axiom Space, which has a contract for EVA operations for Artemis. So while NASA will remain in control of moonwalks, Axiom will deliver and maintain the suits.<\/p>\n
