 1913.F  and Texas-based startup Axiom Space will collaborate to
design NASA's lunar spacesuits for the Artemis III mission
planned for 2025, the two companies said on Wednesday. 
    Prada's engineers will work alongside the Axiom Space
systems team throughout the design process, developing solutions
for materials and design features to protect astronauts against
the challenge of space and the lunar environment, they said in a

spacesuits for use on the moon and other space programmes.
