<h5>NASA has introduced a new suit for which mission?</h5><p>Humans will not survive in outer space or on the moon’s surface without a spacesuit. The human body is protected from temperature changes in space by spacesuits. Spacesuits also provide astronauts with a constant air supply to help them breathe. It also protects them from cosmic radiation and other particles travelling through space at incredible speeds.</p><p>So, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has unveiled a new spacesuit for the upcoming Artemis III mission. Astronauts will wear the new spacesuits when they land on the moon’s South Pole. Axiom Space has designed this new spacesuit for NASA.</p><p>The prototype was shown recently at Space Center Houston in Texas, the United States of America (USA). Axiom Space held an event so that reporters and students get a closer look at the spacesuit. James Stein, the suit's main engineer, demonstrated the features of this new spacesuit. The suit is called the AxEMU (Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit).</p><h5>What are the features of this new spacesuit?</h5><p>The design of the AxEMU spacesuit provides significant benefits to astronauts. It gives them a better fit while boosting their comfort and capacity to complete various activities. The spacesuit is designed to be safer.</p><p>It will resist the lunar surface's dusty environment. The large clear bubble around the astronaut's head gives far greater sight and lighting. This will be important when astronauts step into dark craters near the lunar south pole. A high-definition camera mount is also included with the headpiece.</p><p>James Stein was able to perform moves during the presentation that would have been impossible in previous space suits. The AxEMU spacesuit will allow astronauts to walk more easily on the Moon. They can do more accurate geological and scientific jobs and communicate more easily on space stations.</p><h5>What are some of the problems with earlier space suits?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/new-spacesuits-for-upcoming-nasa-moon-mission%2Fspacesuits-worn-by-the-astronauts-during-the-apollo-11-mission.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=27f80443-aec1-46c5-8f49-ebf31f70965a"><figcaption><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The spacesuits worn by the astronauts during the Apollo 11 mission.

The boots were designed for walking on the lunar surface. But they were stiff and difficult to wear. Current spacesuits are not much improved or different from the original Apollo 11 suits.</p><p>This is why Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin found skipping on the moon’s surface easier than walking. Grabbing something is also not easy while wearing the current spacesuits.</p><p>The new spacesuit will make it easier for astronauts to work in space, especially for the Artemis III mission.</p><h5>What is NASA’s Artemis III mission?</h5><p>Artemis III is a lunar mission scheduled for 2025. The mission will see the return of humans to the lunar surface in more than 50 years. NASA will create history by sending the first humans to the moon’s South Pole region. During their stay on the Moon, the astronauts will perform scientific research.</p><p>The astronauts will capture images and videos, explore geology, gather samples, and collect other data to achieve specific scientific objectives. The data and materials gathered by the astronauts will help scientists better understand the moon’s south pole region and the solar system.</p>
