The Artemis II mission has been postponed to late 2025 due to safety issues related to the spacecraft.
Additionally, there were some problems concerning the astronauts' suits. The program is expected to be completed in 2026, and NASA is currently engaged in intensive efforts for this purpose.
Prada Axiom Space is addressing the issue of astronaut suits for NASA's new space mission.
