NASA has placed an order with Nikon for 11 units of its highest-end dSLR, the D3s, and seven AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm F2.8G ED lens to bring to space for documentation efforts. Interestingly, none of these cameras or optics will require any modifications which attest to the ruggedness and versatility of the company's shooters.

The dSLRs will be brought to the International Space Station where it will join a host of other Nikon products such as the D2Xs, lenses and other Speedlight external flash units.
