Space Walk – Catch all the space action

New Space suit is modelled by engineer Kristine Davis – artemis generation

Nasa announced the new 2019 spacesuit.  The new suit has improved mobility for astronauts working in space.

The next-generation suits, the xEMU, and the Orion crew survival system, were made for the Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and next man on the moon by 2024″
