NASA picks 2 companies to build spacesuits for astronauts on the moon and in Earth orbit

The spacesuit designs are still at an early stage, although the companies emphasized that their units will be somewhat modular, as lightweight and flexible as possible, and will integrate feedback from astronauts and the flight community in assessing the best path forward for completion.

European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer, as seen from the helmet cam worn by NASA astronaut Raja Chari during a spacewalk March 23, 2022. Maurer and Chari were using extravehicular mobility unit spacesuits."We want to be able to create an immersive environment that, for the crew member, gives them the most amount of mobility," he said.
