T O P I C R E V I E WRobert PearlmanNASA is currently designing and developing a new spacesuit system, called the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit or xEMU, for use during Artemis missions at the Moon and adaptable for other destinations near and far.Graphics and photos released by NASA show a new patch has been designed for the xEMU.Paul J. BrennanInteresting. A simple design, yet many elements are incorporated into it. p51Meh. Not a fan. quote:Originally posted by Paul J. Brennan:A simple design, yet many elements are incorporated into it. Yes, far too many elements.I recognize this type of design well, from my time doing such things for the military. I called it, "graphic design by committee" where several people demanded to include an element and they had to be dumped into the same space and the designer couldn't find a way to smoothly blend them in.TallpaulMy dad had a favorite expression about committees. "A camel is a horse designed by a committee."Paul J. BrennanGood points p51.Robert PearlmanAxiom Space is one of two companies that NASA has contracted to provide next generation spacesuit and spacewalk systems under the agency's Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services (xEVAS) contract. The Houston-based company has designed a patch to represent its Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU). Our blue star represents Ed White, the first American to perform an EVA. The red star represents Alexie Leonov, the first person to conduct a spacewalk. Each white star represents our AxEMU sub-system team. The gray path illustrates our continuous improvement in engineering design. The orange streak represents leveraging commercial EVA services for NASA's exploration missions.
