China’s Human Spaceflight Agency revealed the exterior design of the country’s moon landing suit for the first time on Saturday, asking the public to come up with a name for it.
Showcased at the third Spacesuit Technology Forum hosted by the China Astronaut Research and Training Center in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, the white moon landing spacesuit is decorated with red stripes .
The red stripes on its upper limbs are inspired by the ribbons of the famous “flying apsaras” of Dunhuang art, while those on its lower limbs resemble rocket launch flames.
According to a video released by the agency, the spacesuit is made from materials that can effectively protect astronauts from the lunar thermal environment and lunar dust. It is equipped with an easy-to-use multifunctional integrated control panel, as well as cameras for recording close-up and long-distance scenes.
The spacesuit also features soft, reliable gloves, an anti-glare panoramic helmet visor, and joints suitable for low-gravity environments. The overall design of the suit is lightweight and suitable for activities on the lunar surface.
Astronauts Zhai Zhigang and Wang Yaping serve as models for the new lunar suit in the video. Dressed in the lunar outfit, they perform various movements, including walking, crouching, bending, putting one knee on the ground and climbing a ladder.
