Prada just took another giant leap into the space industry.
The fashion house has teamed up with the folks at Axiom Space once again to unveil the inner-layer garment that will be donned by NASA astronauts heading to the moon. The pair had previously unveiled spacesuits for the next lunar mission, which it debuted back in 2024.
Tapping into Prada’s 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—an 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’s 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’s face while also washing away any exhaled CO2.
