Textile artist Anurita Chandola, has recently transitioned into a spacewear designer by joining Bristol’s Martian House Project. Collaborating on the first non-US trial of a real Martian house, she crafted a line of Mars-friendly apparel after NASA unveiled plans for human settlement on the planet by the 2030s.
In 2015, a NASA experiment mimicking Martian conditions had six scientists reside in a dome for 80 days, growing plants that perished upon receiving celebratory T-shirts due to dye chemicals, a lesson Chandola highlights on resource usage and Earth’s sustainability.
