Since the Apollo Program, Nikon has created a number of cameras for space.
Some aspects considered for such a camera include the selecting of special materials that can endure the space environment to the psychological state of astronauts, the constraints of their spacesuits, and so on. On this occasion, some cameras that have actually been to space will be shown and introduced by a Nikon fellow, Tetsuro Goto, who has developed the Nikon Space Camera and can talk about their reliability and operability.
We also are happy to introduce the traditional iron kettles of Seiwmon Onishi XVI, who sympathises with the high technology of camera manufacturing and the Nikon philosophy of creation.
