7. The Camera Gear available to the Astronauts from Nikon.

In addition to professional cameras that any consumer can buy, Nikon has also made custom cameras for NASA's shuttle missions, such as the first fully digital camera. More recently, astronauts aboard the International Space Station have been using Nikon D3S cameras for gorgeous photos of Earth. Astronaut Don Pettit, who writes the "Letters to Earth" blog aboard the ISS, has offered fantastic insight into the challenges of photography from space. In fact, space photography seems to be a popular topic for astronauts to write about--I shared this blog post about camera settings in space from astronaut Alan Poindexter last month.
