NASA’s clunky white spacesuits are getting a designer upgrade. Prada has partnered with Axiom Space to create a next-generation outfit for the Artemis 4 astronauts who will step foot on the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. You’ve probably seen the suit’s snazzy exterior, but the newly unveiled inner layer is just as cool. This form-fitting jumpsuit, called the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), is designed to protect astronauts from the elements as they explore the lunar surface, according to an Axiom statement released Sunday. The LCVG is the layer worn closest to the body, equipped with ventilation and thermal cooling tubes kitted into the garment. But Prada certainly didn’t sacrifice form for function. The streamlined suit looks runway-ready, with a sophisticated body-hugging silhouette and an eye-catching tubing design. “Every minute astronauts spend outside their vehicle, the LCVG is working to keep them safe,” Russell Ralston, Axiom Space Senior Vice President of Spacecraft Development, said in the statement. “It manages their thermal environment, supports their breathing, and does it all while they’re pushing their bodies to the limit. The work we have done with Prada has taken that capability to a level we could not have achieved alone.”
