Why NASA Will Pay $3.5Billion to Rent Space Suits Instead Of Building Their Own.
This week NASA announced the winners of its space suit contract for ISS and Artemis - Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace. Unlike traditional space suit contracts this isn't to buy the suits, but to rent them for specific missions, outsourcing the responsibilities after NASA's internal development program repeatedly failed to deliver a final product.
NASA's xEMU program was supposed to be developing the space suit for Lunar surface operations, but despite lots of innovative research the project never managed to deliver a suit that could proceed to testing and operation. With the Artemis program already setting schedules the suit requirements looked like one of the big blockers after the Launch vehicle and lander.
