Artemis II Proves Old Cameras Still Deliver Stellar Space Shots
Artemis II’s imaging suite leans on proven, older gear: a GoPro Hero4 Black mounted outside Orion and a Nikon D5 as the primary camera, with a Nikon Z9 and iPhone 17 Pro Max also contributing, among 32 cameras aboard. NASA chose rugged, tested equipment over the latest models to endure space conditions, demonstrating you don’t need the newest gear to capture striking views of the Moon and Earth.
