Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Heat Technology to Insulate Lunar Lander

The innovative material, originally designed for ski jackets, will protect the lander from extreme space temperatures during NASA's upcoming moon mission.

• Columbia Sportswear's Omni-Heat Infinity technology, used in ski jackets, will insulate a critical part of a lunar lander in NASA's moon mission.
• The material reflects sunlight and limits heat loss, ideal for space's temperature extremes ranging from -250 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Intuitive Machines, a private space exploration company, will launch the mission as early as Wednesday, marking a significant step in NASA's Artemis program.
• The partnership between Columbia and Intuitive Machines began in 2021, focusing on leveraging insulation technology for space exploration.
• The mission's success could lead to new Columbia products inspired by space research, including the recently launched Arch Rock Double Wall elite jacket.
