"The Feitian extra-vehicular activity (EVA) suit is designed for use in low Earth orbit, where astronauts float in a microgravity environment. Therefore, we chose the ribbon element to convey a sense of free flow. The moon-landing suit is designed for lunar explorations such as walking and working on the moon surface, so we would also like to convey a strong-willed and unswerving feeling, which we integrated organically into the suit's design."

The China Manned Space Agency on Saturday unveiled the exterior design of the country's moon-landing spacesuit for the first time, soliciting its name from the public.
At the unveiling ceremony held in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, a technician appeared wearing the moon-landing suit, showcasing its design through various movements and gestures.
Ribbons have always been an important element in the design of Chinese spacesuits, and the overall design of the moon-landing suit is inspired by the traditional Chinese armor, giving it a rugged and resolute appearance.

The Feitian EVA suit is China's first indigenous spacesuit. Feitian, which literally means flying in the sky, is the name of a legendary Buddhist goddess.
After the demonstration, Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space program and China's first astronaut, together with the technician, launched the naming campaign for the moon-landing suit from the public.
All individuals, legal entities, and organizations passionate about China's manned lunar exploration program are welcome to participate. The campaign will close at 24:00 on October 31, 2024.
