Take a look inside Nasa’s moon spacesuit lab ahead of Artemis launch

Nasa astronauts are gearing up for the first lunar fly-around mission in more than half a century. Nasa’s Dustin Gohmert is responsible for engineering the spacesuits at Johnson Space Center’s Orion Crew Survival Systems Lab.

Years in the making, the suits are designed to protect the astronauts during launch and landing, as well as possible emergency scenarios. While the suits aren’t drastically different from past generations, the pressures the astronauts will experience and the duration they can remain in the suit are “unprecedented from what we’ve tried before”, said Gohmert.

In addition to NASA’s Artemis missions, the orange Orion suits are ultimately designed for use in future Mars transit missions.
