NASA outsources development of Moon spacesuit to two private companies Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace are tasked with creating NASA’s next-generation suits
Today, NASA announced that two private companies — Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace — will develop the next-generation spacesuits that future astronauts will wear to conduct spacewalks and eventually traverse the surface of the Moon. It’s a bold new direction for spacesuit development at NASA, with the agency handing the job over to the private sector after years of struggling to develop a new suit of its own.
