Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

Episode 362, suited for the moon. I'm Kenna Pell and I'll be your host today. On this podcast,

we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts all to let you know what's going on

in the world of human spaceflight and more. For more than 60 years, NASA's space suits have evolved to fit the mission.

Whether it was the agency's first human in space, first spacewalk, launches and landings on

the space shuttle, or fast forward to the space station spacewalks of today, each of these events

came with suits tailored to fit the task at hand.

And future missions to the moon are no different.

In this episode, we dive into the Artemis Generation Space Suit, the Orion Crew Survival System Suit, or Ox for short.

These are the spacesuits future Artemis crews will wear on their journeys to and from the Moon during launch and reentry through Earth's atmosphere. We had the chance to sit

down with the OXSuit project manager from NASA, Dustin Gohmert, and Dan Green, the design engineer

with the David Clark Company. Here we learn about the requirement-driven design of these suits for

trips to the moon, the process and people it takes to fabricate them, and ultimately how spacesuits are more than suits.

They're essentially a personalized spacecraft and safety is key.

Suit up, and let's get to it.
