Axiom Space is preparing to test its next-generation spacesuit in low Earth orbit in 2027, either on the International Space Station (ISS) or during the upcoming Artemis 3 mission. The company is almost finished with the critical design review of the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit. The tests will simulate launch loads and temperatures and pressures experienced by astronauts in space. If Axiom Space does not get to fly the spacesuit on Artemis 3, it may instead opt to test it on board the ISS. This move aligns with NASA's new timeline for the Artemis missions, which is set to launch an additional flight under Artemis 3.
