Astronaut Space Suits Market

A space suit is not just a piece of clothing. It is a miniature, human shaped spacecraft. It provides oxygen, removes carbon dioxide, regulates pressure, protects against micrometeoroid impacts, and manages body heat. With the retirement of the Space Shuttle era suits, NASA and its commercial partners (Axiom Space, Collins Aerospace) are developing the next generation of suits for the Artemis lunar missions. These new suits need to be more flexible, dust resistant, and fit a wider range of body types. This is a high tech garment market with extreme engineering requirements.
