Houston, we have a new spacesuit.
At the #IAC2024 in Milan, @Axiom_Space unveiled the flight design of its lunar spacesuit that @NASA_Astronauts will wear during the #Artemis III mission when they set foot on the Moon for the first time in over 50 years.
This research spaceflight took all hands on deck. @virgingalactic was exceptional to work with. From the engineers, to the payload integration team, to the facilities team, to the pilots - it was the ideal environment for research to take flight.
This is research spaceflight.
@virgingalactic announced the G05 research mission, which includes our our own @kelliegerardi! The G05 flight window opens November 2 & our payload crew @gypsynaut@shawnapandya & Aaron Persad will bring you updates from the 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝!
LIVE NOW: The Czech Republic is signing the #Artemis Accords, joining more than 20 nations from all over the world committed to the peaceful and safe exploration of space: https://t.co/lWecM3PxEX
Durante la noche lunar, que dura unos 14 días (una rotación de la Luna dura 28 días en la Tierra) la superficie de la Luna no está expuesta al Sol, los astronautas que estarán en la superficie lunar durante la noche lunar, necesitarán vivir y trabajar en completa oscuridad para conducir investigación geológica y científica. Es por eso que el entrenamiento es super importante y esencial para ejecutar sin problemas. Todo eso es realizado en un 1/6 de gravedad.

During the lunar night, which lasts about 14 days (one rotation of the Moon lasts 28 days on Earth) the surface of the Moon is not exposed to the Sun, astronauts who will be on the lunar surface during the lunar night, they will need live and work in complete darkness to conduct geology and scientific research. That's why training is so critical and important to execute flawlessly. All of this done in 1/6 of gravity.
We are the Artemis Generation! @IIAS_NLC@NASAArtemis #artemis #moon #spacexploration
