Axiom Space and Prada unveil Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment for NASA’s next-generation lunar spacesuit

Axiom Space and Prada have unveiled the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), the inner-layer base system for Axiom’s Extravehicular Mobility Unit spacesuit. Designed with Prada input, the cooling and respiration-control garment is intended to support NASA astronauts during Artemis lunar missions and suit operations on the Moon.

NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft hits Mach 1 for first time in Edwards AFB flight NASA says its X-59 low-boom demonstrator exceeded Mach 1 for the first time during a test flight from Edwards Air Force Base, advancing the Quesst program’s objective of enabling overland supersonic flight without a sonic boom. The milestone builds on earlier low-speed and early supersonic validation steps.

Meteor “storms” and Artemis: NASA assesses micrometeoroid risk to future lunar crews and spacecraft NASA is evaluating whether major meteor shower activity could increase micrometeoroid impact hazards for its Artemis lunar missions, and what engineering/operations approach is used to keep astronauts safe from particle strikes. The assessment links space-weather-like conditions to crew protection and spacecraft impact tolerance.

NASA weighs a lower-cost Hubble reboost as Katalyst readies a robotic servicing attempt to reboost Swift NASA is considering extending the life of the Hubble Space Telescope with a reboost maneuver if costs can be reduced. Separately, NASA and Katalyst are preparing to launch a robotic servicing mission aimed at reboosting the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory in a decaying orbit.
