For more than a year members of this group have been recording images from various rocket and shuttle missions using some of Olympus's cutting-edge equipment and come away with amazing photographic results. Whether it's a Space Shuttle launch or landing, the roll-out of the shuttle to the launchpad, or even the day-to-day operations occurring at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FL, the Olympus E-series digital cameras have been along for the ride.

Advanced optics and camera controls, up to a 5 megapixel CCD, and a viewfinder tilt are just some of the extraordinary features found among these digital cameras to support the professional photographers over at Aerospace Imaging Group in their efforts. Those and more are the features you need when you're documenting important and precious moments you won't get a second chance to capture. It's the reason Olympus places so much emphasis on it's digital products, and the reason those products produce the most realistic digital images yet.
