Oakley partners with Axiom Space for lunar visor system - Yanko Design
Briefly

The Artemis III mission will utilize Oakley's advanced visor technology for astronauts on the Moon. Oakley's partnership with Axiom Space integrates High-Definition Optics (HDO) technology to combat the Moon's unique visual challenges. The visor system features a two-part deployable design, adjustable for changing light conditions. Among its notable features is a 24-karat gold coating that shields users from intense light and UV radiation while protecting against lunar dust. The collaboration reflects a broader strategy of incorporating non-traditional partners into space exploration, exemplified by Axiom Space's work with Oakley and Prada.
The visor system will feature Oakley's next-generation High-Definition Optics (HDO) technology, used in their premium sunglasses, tailored for the lunar environment's visual challenges.
The sophisticated two-part deployable design of the AxEMU visor system can be stowed when not needed and deployed for harsher lighting conditions on the Moon.
One of the most striking features of the visor system is its 24-karat gold coating, which protects users from extreme light conditions encountered on the lunar surface.
The collaboration exemplifies Axiom Space's strategy of bringing non-traditional aerospace partners into space exploration, merging fashion with high-stakes technology.
