Cold water is circulated through tubes embedded in the suit to whisk heat away from astronauts\u2019 bodies. And, should the primary system fail, there is a backup, unlike older cooling suits. The LCVG also houses the ventilation system that supplies fresh oxygen to the AxEMU helmet and directs exhaled CO2 to a scrubber for recirculation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The collaboration between Axiom Space and Prada isn\u2019t the first time NASA has gotten involved with a project that blended high-tech materials and manufacturing with high-fashion design.
