Prada and Axiom Space are collaborating to create NASA's new spacesuits for its 2025 lunar mission. Prada engineers will develop design features and adapt materials to the harsh climate around the moon. NASA revealed in 1974 that spacesuits are costly and that it spent $15 to $20 million on them at the time.

Chief Engineer Jim Stein wears the new spacesuit during the Axiom Space Artemis III Lunar Spacesuit event at Space Center Houston in Houston, Texas, on March 15, 2023. "We're pleased that humanity's next steps on the moon are going to be in an Axiom spacesuit," Suffredini added. NASA's Artemis program represents a series of missions with escalating goals. In addition to Axiom, NASA also awarded a contract to Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of Raytheon , to build next-generation spacesuits. Under the Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services program, NASA expects to provide up to $3.5 billion for spacesuits through 2034.
