NASA has just placed an order for eleven Nikon D3S digital SLR cameras and seven AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses. The D3S DSLRs and AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses ordered by NASA will be carried on the Space Shuttle and used to photograph activities at the International Space Station in the future. No special modifications will be made to these products. They will be the same products available to end-users, Nikon claims. The new equipment will be used along with the Nikon D2XS digital SLR cameras, Nikkor lenses, and Nikon Speedlights already in use at the International Space Station. Nikon has been supplying NASA with cameras and lenses since 1971.
