This suit is meant for most types of bodies
NASA says it’s committed to landing a woman on the Moon during Artemis 3, but the space agency hasn’t always been accommodating when it comes to making sure its spacesuits are suitable or readily available for women. AxEMU is designed to “fit a broad range of crew members, accommodating at least 90 percent of the U.S. male and female population,” according to a NASA statement. “We have different sizes of elements that we can swap out—a medium, large, and small if you will—for different components,” Russell Ralston, deputy program manager for extravehicular activity at Axiom Space, told reporters yesterday. “Then within each of those sizes, we also have an adjustability to where we can really tailor the suit to someone: the length of their leg or the length of their arm.”
