The helmet is truly cool, featuring bright headlights on each side—a feature that Artemis astronauts will need when navigating the dark and shadowed regions of the lunar south pole. The helmet also has a high-definition camera, so we’ll get some wild POV imagery from the mission. The large fishbowl helmet will offer a generous view of an astronaut’s surroundings and also feature disposable tear-off strips similar to those on race car windshields. Artemis astronauts will tear away these strips to quickly remove accumulating dust.
