WASHINGTON (KGUN) — The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is collaborating with Italian luxury fashion house Prada to help design spacesuits.
NASA officials say it awarded a $228.5 million grant to modernized space suits to Texas-based commercial space company Axiom, who then turned to Prada.
With NASA's final approval, Prada officially announced the collaboration Wednesday.
