In 2026, humanity will once again embark on a journey to the Moon. One of the key elements of this mission will be an innovative space suit designed by the Italian fashion house Prada.

Prada, a global fashion giant known for its luxurious clothing collections, now focuses on functionality, combining its unique design approach with advanced technology. The collaboration with Axiom Space, an American space technology company, aims to create a suit that will withstand the harsh conditions on the Moon's surface.
Innovative technology protecting against dust and temperature
The space suit designed by Prada not only reflects heat but, most importantly, protects astronauts from extreme temperatures and hazardous lunar dust, which poses one of the most serious threats to Moon missions.
This dust, extremely fine and with sharp edges, can damage equipment and harm astronauts' health. Prada's design considers these factors, offering solutions that will allow astronauts to stay on the Moon for extended periods.
Prada developed a space suit for the 2026 Moon landing, specifically for NASA's Artemis III mission. The suit is engineered to reflect heat and shield astronauts from extreme temperatures and lunar dust. According to a report by Nexta on platform X, it is designed to support astronauts for up to 8 hours during their time in space.
Preparations for the Artemis III mission
The Artemis III mission will be a historic event aimed at returning humans to the Moon's surface after more than 50 years. This time, NASA plans to land in the Moon's south pole region, which is expected to provide valuable information about local resources and conditions. Modern equipment will be a key component of this endeavor, and Prada's innovative suit will play an important role.
