On episode 362, a NASA project manager and a design engineer discuss the Orion Crew Survival System Suit that future Artemis crews will wear on their journeys to and from the Moon.
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 spacesuits 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 Generations 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 OX suit 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.

There she goes.
