In the Artemis program, which is being promoted mainly by the United States with the aim of exploring the moon by astronauts, a prototype of a spacesuit used on the moon has been unveiled for the first time.
What was unveiled was a spacesuit that is being developed for use on the moon by the Artemis program of the United States, in which astronauts are participating in the Japan of lunar exploration.
NASA = American private company "Axiom Space" that has a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The unveiled spacesuit is designed to allow the head to see a large area, and is characterized by soft materials for joints such as arms and legs, which can respond to various movements on the moon.

In addition, materials that block heat are used so that it can cope with the large temperature difference on the lunar surface.
