It’s more than a suit — it’s survival engineering. 🧑‍🚀 NASA Artemis II astronauts wear the Orion Crew Survival System, a custom‑fit pressure suit built at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, to protect them during launch and splashdown. With a lighter helmet, fire‑resistant layers, touchscreen‑ready gloves, improved cooling, and boots built for agility, every detail is engineered for deep‑space safety. In an emergency, the OCSS can sustain an astronaut for up to six days with oxygen, hydration, and survival gear. Designed, tested, and tailored by JSC’s Orion Crew Survival Systems team, it’s one of the mission’s most essential pieces of hardware as Artemis II heads for the Moon.
