Dinamai AxMU (Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit), baju ini dirancang mengikuti prototipe xEMU (Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit) yang dikembangkan oleh NASA. Namun pengembangan AxMU difokuskan untuk beberapa isu seperti thermal, mobilitas, dan keamanan. Di bagian belakang terdapat tas punggung yang digunakan untuk menyimpan sistem life support astronaut.

Dalam acara pengumuman di NASA Space Center Houston, Chief Engineer Axiom Space Jim Stein mendemonstrasikan spacesuit ini sambil memutar badannya dan jongkok. Spacesuit ini memiliki lebih banyak sendi di bagian bawah pinggang sehingga memudahkan astronaut bergerak. Sepatu botnya juga dirancang khusus dengan insulasi yang lebih baik sehingga astronaut tetap merasa nyaman bekerja di kutub selatan Bulan yang suhunya sangat dingin.

Baju luar angkasa ini juga dilengkapi helm canggih dengan fitur seperti lampu untuk memudahkan astronaut melihat, serta kamera HD di bagian samping yang bisa menyediakan livestream POV astronaut ke Bumi.

Meskipun prototipe spacesuit yang dipamerkan berwarna hitam, produk aslinya akan hadir dalam warna putih. Warna putih dipilih agar bisa memantulkan panas dan melindungi astronaut dari suhu panas yang ekstrem.

Spacesuit warna hitam yang dipamerkan ini diselimuti dengan lapisan cover yang dirancang oleh desainer Esther Marquis. Prototipe ini ditutupi lapisan cover untuk melindungi teknologi rahasia Axiom. Baju luar angkasa ini dirancang untuk misi Artemis III yang rencananya akan diluncurkan pada tahun 2025. Artemis III akan menandakan kembalinya NASA ke permukaan Bulan setelah berakhirnya misi Apollo 50 tahun yang lalu.
