The suits won’t come home
As CollectSpace reports, it’s a one-way trip for these Moon suits. During the closing phases of Artemis 3, the astronauts will return to lunar orbit aboard SpaceX’s Starship upper stage rocket, which is doubling as the lunar lander for this mission. The duo will then return to the Orion capsule for the trip home, sans the AxEMU suits, which will stay aboard Starship. Starship won’t have enough fuel to return home, so it’ll just stay in lunar orbit indefinitely, according to Greeley.
