The International Space Station (ISS) is equipped with a fleet of Nikon Z9 cameras as astronauts there prepare to finally retire Nikon’s DSLRs, which have been their primary system in orbit for many years.

Nikon announced that 13 Nikon Z9 cameras, 15 FTZ II adapters and more than 15 Nikkor Z lenses, including super telephoto and macro lenses, were aboard Northrop Grumman’s 20th commercial resupply services mission for NASA, which launched to the International Space Station in January. On January 30, 2024, a Cygnus cargo spacecraft carried by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Space Launch Pad 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Station.

The Japanese camera company considers this a milestone achievement for the Nikon Z series, as it will be Nikon’s first mirrorless camera for space station crews. The camera will replace the existing Nikon D6 and D5 digital SLR cameras on the International Space Station (the D5 has been operational on Earth since 2017). As mentioned in the article, Nikon Z9 cameras Battery created custom firmware for the space camera designed to better serve astronauts. This includes extending noise reduction to faster shutter speeds to deal with the space radiation that space station crew and equipment are constantly bombarded with. Other changes have also been made to the file naming order and default settings and controls, which are optimized for life in the orbiting laboratory and surrounded by protective shielding during external missions. Changes have also been made to the FTP and transfer protocols within the camera to streamline astronauts’ workflow, improve efficiency and reduce power consumption when transmitting images from space to Earth.
