NASA Wants Alternate Versions of Its Next Generation Spacesuits

NASA has requested that two of its commercial partners, Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace, develop alternative spacesuit designs for different purposes than initially planned.

The intention behind this request is to have backup options available in case any issues arise in the future.

In an announcement on Monday, NASA revealed that task orders worth $5 million each were awarded to Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace under their existing contracts, Gizmodo reported.

Axiom Space will focus on modifying its spacesuit design to be suitable for use in low Earth orbit, while Collins Aerospace will work on a spacesuit specifically designed for astronauts on the surface of the Moon.
