NASA astronauts and spacesuit engineers recently simulated lunar surface operations and tasks underwater wearing the new suits, built by Axiom Space, to demonstrate safety and mobility. The space agency reported Thursday (Feb 12) that the spacesuit has passed a contractor-led technical review and is hoped to be used for the Artemis III mission as NASA prepares to send humans to the Moon???s South Pole for the first time.

From images taken by NASA spacecrafts, this picture mosaic was created of six of the planets in our solar system and the Earth's moon. In the foreground is the Earth rising over the lunar surface with the sun flare at the edge of Earth. Venus is the first planet above the moon, and at the top left to right are the planets Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. Photo credits are as follows: Earth - Apollo 17; Lunar Surface - Apollo 8; Sun - Apollo 12; Venus - Pioneer Venus; Jupiter - Voyager I; Mercury - Mariner 10; Saturn - Pioneer 11.
