Prada and Axiom Space have unveiled the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) that astronauts will wear beneath their spacesuits for the Artemis IV mission. This advanced undergarment is designed to maintain astronaut comfort and regulate body temperature during lunar surface operations. Cold water circulates through integrated tubes to efficiently remove heat from the wearer's body. The LCVG also incorporates a ventilation system, ensuring a stable environment for the crew. Notably, this new design includes a backup system, a significant improvement over previous cooling technologies used in space exploration.
This technological advancement is crucial for enabling longer and more effective human missions on the Moon by ensuring astronaut safety and performance.
