Astronauts
Mission, Artemis III, perhaps the most ambitious project of NASA in recent years. His goal of landing astronauts on the moon half a century later after the final sixth of the mission "Apollo-17" in December 1972.
In anticipation of the mission, NASA has just made a choice of the developer of the suit for American astronauts. It became an Axiom Space, ahead of the tender of his rival Collins Aerospace. To create a work of lunar suit xEVAS company will receive nearly 229 million. It is based on Exploration space suit Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU), developed by NASA for the Artemis missions. As reported in the Axiom Space, it will be created so that they can go to almost any member of the crew, regardless of gender (as we know, the mission is planned the first ever landing of women on the moon).
xEMU
This principle is the basis of after three years ago was canceled the Eva woman-astronauts, as available on-Board the ISS spacesuits were created for men. In xEVAS these problems will be solved. To clarify — they can use exclusively members of the Artemis III. For subsequent missions, as well as for working outside the ISS on a competitive basis will be created and other suits.
