NASA has selected two companies, Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace, to make spacesuits for its moon program and future International Space Station (ISS) missions. They will replace the current suits that were made 40 years ago, reported Agence France Press (AFP).
"History will be made with the suits when we get to the Moon. We will have our first person of color and our first woman that will be wearers and users of these suits in space," Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston told reporters. NASA originally wanted to build the suits itself but was facing significant development delays.
