The suits are not the final design but give a good idea of what NASA astronauts will wear when they land on the lunar surface.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi says India's successful Moon mission will open new avenues for other countries seeking to unravel the mysteries of the Earth's only natural satellite. Chandrayaan-3, "Mooncraft" in Sanskrit, touched down on the lunar surface on on August 23, making India the first nation to land an unmanned craft near the largely unexplored lunar south pole.

India has become the first nation to land a spacecraft, the Chandrayaan-3, on the Moon’s south pole. Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the celebrations via live broadcast from the sidelines of the BRICS diplomatic summit in South Africa. This was a historic triumph for the world's most populous nation and its ambitious, cut-price space programme.
India is undertaking its latest attempted Moon landing, a historic moment after two previous failures since 2019. Chandrayaan-3, which means "Mooncraft" in Sanskrit, will attempt to reach the Moon's little-explored lunar south pole.
