The high-tech, white-gray-red overall suits contain lamps, cameras, communication equipment, and nutrition. They can withstand the extreme cold that prevails at the Moon's south pole and on the celestial body's dark side, reports public service channel NPR. The suits are designed to be more flexible and safer than those used previously.

Behind the outfit stands space company Axiom Space in collaboration with the Italian luxury brand Prada. The suit was presented at an event in Milan this week.

No human has been on the Moon since the USA's Apollo program from 1968 to 1972, when twelve Americans walked on the celestial body's surface. But the Moon has again become a coveted stop for continued space research, with sights set on Mars.

The goal of the USA's new Moon program Artemis is for humans to reach the Moon again after more than 50 years – in order to enable a longer presence there.

According to Axiom, the new suit is essentially fully developed. It is to be tested in a pressure-adjusted simulator.
