A warm shirt embedded with advanced technology will be tested in outer space. This heat will be taken to the moon to test its resistance to extreme temperatures. Outdoor apparel manufacturer, Columbia Sportswear in collaboration with Intuitive Machines, a space exploration company, will test Omni-Heat™ Infinity technology embedded in their warm clothes.

The heat insulation technology will be used in the outerwear that will be used for the Nova-C landing by Intuitive Machines on the moon in the first stage.

In a lab simulation of such a launch, Intuitive Machines researchers said the gold metal layer in Columbia’s Omni-Heat Infinity fabric could apparently insulate lunar landers from the extreme temperatures of outer space. This layer is apparently capable of surviving temperatures between -250° and 250° Fahrenheit or from -121 degrees Celsius to 121 degrees Celsius.

“As a clothing company that maximizes products https://www.dpdppnipacitan.com for all seasons and occasions, it is truly important for us to test our technology in the most extreme conditions and find ways to innovate beyond our customers’ needs,” said Dr. Haskell Beckham, Vice President of Columbia Findings in his statement, Friday (23/2/2024).

Intuitive Machines itself has been selected by NASA to send scientific weights to the surface of the Moon with the Nova-C fleet. NASA wants this landing to mark the return of the United States to the lunar surface for the first time in 50 years.

The launch of the IM-1 mission to the Moon is targeted for a launch window that opens as early as February 14, 2024. The mission will be broadcast live on NASA’s Glass and Intuitive Machines website television.

IM-1 will be the first moon landing scheduled by Intuitive Machines as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, a critical component of NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration effort.

The weight of science and technology delivered to the lunar surface as a result of CLPS will lay the foundation for a sustainable human component on the lunar surface and future lunar development.
