Prada and Axiom collaborate for the Artemiss III mission

Axiom Space and Prada have teamed up to design NASA's next-generation lunar spacesuit for the Artemis III mission, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface in 2026. This first-of-its-kind collaboration between a luxury fashion house and a space agency, will see Prada contributing its expertise in design, materials, production and innovation.

The new Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuits are being developed to ensure safety, mobility, and comfort for astronauts exploring the lunar surface, particularly the challenging environment of the lunar south pole. While Prada is known for high fashion, the focus of this collaboration is firmly on functionality—protection against extreme temperatures, radiation, and other space environmental hazards.

The partnership highlights the potential cross-industry collaboration opportunities in advancing commercial space exploration
