\n\tPrada<\/a> just took another giant leap into the space industry.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fashion house has teamed up with the folks at Axiom Space<\/a> once again to unveil the inner-layer garment that will be donned by NASA<\/a> astronauts heading to the moon. The pair had previously unveiled spacesuits<\/a> for the next lunar mission, which it debuted back in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tTapping into Prada\u2019s engineered knitting know-how, the new Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) was developed via advanced 3-D modeling techniques that help out with cooling\u2014an highly important task, given that astronauts generate an insane amount of metabolic heat while in space. To combat this, the high-performance suit circulates cold water through a series of tubes that pass over all the major muscle groups, absorbing and carrying heat as it travels to the suit\u2019s portable-life system. From there, the heat will be expelled into space, ensuring that the wearer remains cool during spacewalks of up to eight hours. The new layer also provides plenty of ventilation via tubes that deliver oxygen across the astronaut\u2019s face while also washing away any exhaled CO2.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tBoth the spacesuit and the inner layer make a stylish set for the cosmos.<\/p>\n

\n\tNASA astronauts will wear the new inner layer underneath the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility (AxEMU) spacesuit. The sporty-look suit was made to withstand all the extremes of space itself, including thermal temperatures, lunar dust, and more. The design is home to a helmet and visor that protect the wearer from solar radiation, along with custom gloves and boots that allow the astronauts to go on spacewalks of up to eight hours. In addition to all that tech, Prada lets its style shine through with its signature Linea Rossa red popping up all over the suit\u2014a similar detail that can be spotted on the LCVG, too. The fashion house\u2019s expertise with high-performance materials also helped out with the design, allowing the team to source the specialized fibers that let astronauts don the snug layer again and again on long missions.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe future of space exploration will not be built by any one entity alone, and our partnership with Prada is proof of that,\u201d Jonathan Cirtain, Axiom Space\u2019s CEO and president, said in a statement. \u201cBy bringing together the best in both aerospace engineering as well as luxury craftmanship and advanced product development, we have developed a garment that neither company could have created independently, and that is exactly the kind of cross-industry thinking that will define the next era of human spaceflight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for when astronauts are excepted to return to our celestial neighbor, NASA currently has its Artemis IV mission planned for 2028. A crew of four astronauts will hop aboard the organization\u2019s Orion spacecraft for the journey, which will result in them spending about a week on the moon\u2019s South Pole before heading back to Earth. If the expedition succeeds, it will mark the first time humans have stepped foot on the moon in over 50 years\u2014and they\u2019ll look plenty stylish while doing it.<\/p>\n
