Caption: Cooling Prada underwear astronauts will wear on the Moon unveiled. The Prada underwear astronauts will wear when they return to the lunar surface for the first time in more than 50 years have been revealed. Axiom Space teamed up with the Italian fashion house to create the spacesuits for NASA’s Artemis missions. Now the firms have unveiled a new Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) designed for astronauts to wear inside their Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit. The garment forms a key inner layer of the AxEMU suit and is intended to protect astronauts from the harsh conditions of the Moon. According to the companies, the garment has been developed using advanced 3D modelling techniques and is designed to maintain cooling and ventilation while improving comfort during spacewalks lasting up to eight hours. During spacewalks, astronauts generate significant amounts of body heat through physical exertion. Unlike previous generations of cooling garments, Axiom Space said the new design includes a fully redundant cooling circuit, providing a back-up system should the primary cooling loop fail. The garment is expected to play a critical role when astronauts return to the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis IV mission.
