Islamabad, Oct 22: Prada-Designed Spacesuit for Axiom Promises to Fit Everyday Humans Comfortably. This month The NASA-affiliated private aerospace firm Axiom Space unveiled its next-generation spacesuit, which was designed by Prada.
Although a disguised version of the garment was displayed at an event in Milan last year, the actual thing has now been unveiled. As you might expect, the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit is incredibly fashionable.
I know you’re wondering what I am, so why is Prada involved on Earth (or, in space)? The fashion company, according to Axiom, “supported innovative work with in-depth knowledge and experience on materials and production processes.”
Prada’s experience made it possible to combine cutting-edge technologies and creative stitching techniques to create a visually beautiful white outer layer with highly sophisticated functionality. Enhancing the performance of the materials while giving astronauts more comfort.”
“Going beyond our limits is one of the company’s values that perfectly reflects the spirit of the Prada brand and my parents’ vision,” according to Lorenzo Bertelli, CMO of Prada. The outcome we’re showcasing today, which is only the beginning of a long-term partnership with Axiom Space, makes me extremely proud.
We learned a lot and exchanged knowledge about high-performance fabrics, features, and stitching methods. We’ll undoubtedly keep investigating new problems, expanding our perspectives, and creating new scenarios in tandem.”
There are several ways in which the space threads differ from Prada’s typical runway offerings: First, NASA’s next Artemis III mission will use them in a lunar environment. Second, unlike runway models, regular people will fit into the spacesuit: “The suit accommodates a wide range of crewmembers, including males and females from the first to 99th percentile (anthropomorphic sizing).”
