    NASA Selects Next-Generation Spacesuits for Artemis, International Space Station

    Live from Johnson Space Center in Houston, we’ll announce the company, or companies, that will move forward in developing the next generation of spacesuits for the International Space Station and for Artemis missions at the Moon.

    Teams are developing new spacesuits to unlock new spacewalk capabilities outside the International Space Station and allow humans to explore the lunar surface. Under Artemis, new exploration spacesuits, together with human surface mobility systems, the Space Launch System rocket, the Orion Spacecraft, ground systems, Gateway, and human landing systems, will enable NASA to establish a long-term presence at the Moon and to eventually explore Mars.
