It has been more than 50 years since anyone set foot on the moon. And those old suits were hard to move in and didn't fit every astronaut. As part of NASA's Artemis III, astronauts will wear new for the first time in 40 years.
The new spacesuit is easier to wear and is a better fit for women too. It also allows to see more things in a better way with built-in lights and even a camera for catching things more easily. Now it is just a black spacesuit. When it reaches the moon, it will be white. This helps astronauts being noticed on the moon. The new spacesuits "will not only allow the first woman to walk on the moon, but also allow astronauts to do more researches on the moon."
On the moon, daytime lasts for around 14 earth days and temperatures can reach 120℃! But the nights last just as long and temperatures can drop to -130℃! The spacesuits can help astronauts in these environment. _____▲_____. For example on the moon, radiation levels can be 200 times more than those on earth! Astronauts will get hurt without the spacesuits. And in space, there is mo air. Spacesuits also have to offer enough oxygen to astronauts.
The Artemis I successfully returned to Earth last year. Artemis II is set for 2024. It will take further from Earth than anyone has gone before. Artemis III is set for 2025 and will see astronauts moon walking for the first time in half a century. NASA also plans to build a new space station on the moon. The station will move around the moon and help NASA finish more plans in deeper space—like sending people to Mars! The plans are ready, and the spacesuits are ready as well.
