NASA astronauts have donned a lot of different spacesuits over the decades.
  • NASA unveiled the suit astronauts will wear during the 2025 Artemis III moon mission. 
  • The new Extravehicular Mobility Unit spacesuit was developed by private company Axiom Space.
  • NASA gave astronauts their first operational spacesuits in the early 1960s. 

Space may be the final frontier, but it's wildly inaccessible and downright deadly to any plucky human without a great spacesuit.

Astronauts are scheduled to return to the moon for the first time in 50 years in 2025 with NASA's Artemis III mission. The space agency just unveiled a new fit for the occasion, developed by private company Axiom Space.
