Axiom Space said on Nov. 13, 2026 that it closed the critical design review for the AxEMU spacesuit it is building for NASA, after reviewers examined component evidence, drawings, analyses and prototype tests, including whole-suit mass and pressure drop. The company said the suit now moves into production and qualification testing, with pressure-garment and portable life-support assembly targeted for early 2027 ahead of an International Space Station demonstration. A Sortie configuration for early Artemis lunar excursions builds on those AxEMU components.
