Taking the new suit for a swim 👙⁣
⁣
Axiom.Space recently tested its Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) lunar spacesuit for the first time in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at NASAJohnson Space Center.⁣
⁣
The uncrewed suit was submerged underwater and weighed out to simulate the gravity environment of the lunar surface, which is about 1/6th of the gravity we experience on Earth. Future tests will include a human inside of the spacesuit.⁣
