NASA chose Axiom Space Inc. and Collins Aerospace to provide it with new astronaut suits, as the agency pushes to replace decades-old hardware and spur more commercial activity in space.
Officials from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Wednesday they selected the two companies to compete to offer the agency space suits for high-profile missions, including for operations outside of the International Space Station and future exploration visits to the moon. The companies are currently developing their suits.
