Runway to Moonwalk This is How Prada and Axiom Built NASA’s Cooling Suit

What the LCVG actually is The new piece is called the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), a form fitting inner layer worn under the AxEMU lunar spacesuit.

It acts like a wearable radiator, built with a dense network of fine tubes that circulate chilled water around the body to pull away excess heat during demanding spacewalks that can last up to eight hours.

Unlike legacy cooling garments that trace back to the Apollo era, this LCVG adds a fully redundant backup cooling loop, so if the primary system fails on the lunar surface, a second system automatically takes over.

Alongside thermal control, a separate ventilation circuit delivers fresh oxygen over the astronaut’s face and channels exhaled carbon dioxide back to the suit’s life support system for scrubbing and recirculation…
