NASA News Video: NASA Astronauts' Moonwalking System Revealed

Houston, TX - NASA has selected Axiom Space to deliver a moonwalking system that will allow astronauts to land near the lunar South Pole during the Artemis III mission. The agency is set to reveal the spacesuit prototype designed for the first woman and male astronauts to wear on the surface of the Moon.

The event will be hosted by Axiom Space and will feature remarks from NASA and Axiom Space experts, a suit demonstration, and question-and-answer sessions with media and students. The ceremony will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency's website at 10:30 a.m. CDT (Central Daylight Time) on Wednesday, March 15.

This historic event marks another significant step towards human exploration of the Moon. The moonwalking system is designed to ensure the safety and success of the mission as astronauts venture beyond the lunar surface.

Meanwhile, NASA's NuSTAR spacecraft has been exploring a supernova remnant known as Cas A, which continues to fascinate scientists centuries after its explosion. According to researchers, the latest findings suggest that the exploding star literally sloshed around, re-energizing the stalled shock wave and allowing it to finally blast off its outer layers.

The NuSTAR map of Cas A reveals that the titanium is concentrated in clumps at the remnant's center, providing a possible solution to the mystery of how the star met its demise. This new forensic tool has given scientists a more complete picture of what was going on at the core of the explosion, allowing them to continue their research and uncover new secrets about the high-energy universe.

'We built NuSTAR to discover things we never knew - and did not expect - about the high-energy universe,' said Paul Hertz, director of NASA's astrophysics division in Washington. 'Now that we can see the radioactive material, which glows in X-rays no matter what, we are getting a more complete picture of what was going on at the core of the explosion.'

The NuSTAR spacecraft has provided scientists with a new tool to investigate supernova explosions, and its findings have strong implications for our understanding of these powerful events. As NASA continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, its scientists remain committed to uncovering the secrets of the universe and revealing new wonders that inspire humanity.
