Prada and Axiom Space Unveil Stylish Cooling Suit for Artemis Astronauts

Prada and Axiom Space have revealed a new Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) that will be worn by astronauts on NASA's Artemis missions to the Moon. This garment, part of the AxEMU spacesuit, is designed to provide comfort and temperature regulation through a network of cooling liquid tubes. The LCVG also features a ventilation system to manage oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The design incorporates elements of high fashion, such as Prada's signature style, while ensuring the garment meets the rigorous demands of space travel. This collaboration is part of a broader trend of integrating fashion with aerospace technology, reminiscent of NASA's historical partnerships during the Apollo program.

Axiom Space Reschedules Axiom Mission 4 Launch to ISS for June 22

Axiom Space Reschedules Axiom Mission 4 Launch to ISS for June 22

Axiom Space has announced the rescheduling of the Axiom Mission 4 launch to the International Space Station (ISS) to June 22. The delay is to allow NASA to evaluate operations on the ISS following recent repairs in the Russian section. The mission, which is the fourth private mission by NASA to the ISS, will be led by NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson. Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will serve as the mission's pilot, with Poland's Sławosz Uznański and Hungary's Tibor Kapu as mission specialists. The decision to reschedule was made after assessing the readiness of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle, the Dragon spacecraft, and the health and preparedness of the crew.

NASA Reverses Evacuation Alert for ISS Astronauts Amid Air Leak Concerns

NASA Reverses Evacuation Alert for ISS Astronauts Amid Air Leak Concerns

NASA ordered astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation due to a worsening air leak in the Russian segment of the station. The leak, which has been a concern for months, escalated from losing one pound of air per day to two pounds. The astronauts, including members of NASA's Crew-12 mission, were instructed to enter their SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft as a precaution. However, NASA later reversed the evacuation order after assessing the situation with Roscosmos, the Russian space agency.

NASA and Roscosmos Address ISS Leak with Temporary Safe Haven Procedures

NASA and Roscosmos Address ISS Leak with Temporary Safe Haven Procedures

NASA and Roscosmos have been addressing a leak in the Zvezda service module of the International Space Station (ISS). The leak prompted temporary safe haven procedures, requiring crew members to take refuge in the Dragon spacecraft. NASA's Public Affairs Office reported that Roscosmos paused structural repair efforts inside the Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, to assess more measurements and data. Following this development, NASA instructed the crew to end the safe haven procedures and return to planned operations aboard the ISS. The agencies are collaborating to address the leaks effectively.
