ScienceWary of Artemis IV timeline, NASA changes lunar spacesuit design

NASA has opted for a simpler spacesuit for its first lunar-surface missions as it tries to accelerate human landings at the Moon’s South Pole as early as 2028. Working with Axiom Space, the agency will develop a “Sortie Suit” version for initial missions using landers built by SpaceX and Blue Origin, aiming to reduce mass, complexity and lander interfaces.
