THE China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) unveiled the exterior design of the country’s moon-landing spacesuit for the first time on Saturday, soliciting its name from the public.

Displayed on the third Spacesuit Technology Forum hosted by the China Astronaut Research and Training Centre in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, the white moon-landing spacesuit is decorated with red stripes.

The new lunar spacesuit features design elements inspired by Dunhuang art and rocket flames, providing protection against the lunar environment. Equipped with a multifunctional control panel, flexible gloves, and a panoramic visor, it allows astronauts to perform various movements. Developed since 2020, it signifies key technological advancements in China’s manned lunar exploration, with a planned lunar landing by 2030. — Xinhua
