Well, we can finally post some images of a project we started 2 years ago, and our NASA Artemis Closeout Crew suits are delivered and in the field.
Global Effects designed and produced around 50 custom jumpsuits for the closeout crew of NASA's new moon program.
We have also been producing training fittings and replicas of the new OCSS spacesuit.
Thanks to a great team.
