A NASA inspector general report has revealed that spacesuits for the Artemis moon mission may face delays, potentially pushing their readiness to 2031. In 2022, NASA awarded contracts to Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace to develop next-generation suits for Artemis missions and International Space Station operations. However, by 2024, NASA will have withdrawn its partnership with Collins Aerospace due to the company's inability to meet its schedule. The report suggests that Axiopas may not have a suit ready until 2031, three years after the current schedule for the Apollo IV mission.
