Washington — NASA has unveiled two prototypes of its next-generation spacesuits. During an Oct. 15 press conference, the space agency introduced the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or xEMU, and the Orion Crew Survival System suit. The new spacesuits are designed to be worn during lunar missions in NASA’s Artemis program, which has the goal of sending “the first woman and the next man” to the moon by 2024. According to NASA, the xEMU – designed for spacewalks – improves on suits previously worn during Apollo . . .
