Nikon Optics Heading to Orbit on Seven GRUS-3 Satellites

Nikon makes more than camera glass, and this is the proof. Their optics division is supplying the telescopes for seven GRUS-3 microsatellites launching in 2026, building on work they've done for Axelspace since 2018. Genuinely impressive engineering, but practically irrelevant to your next job. File this under 'interesting brand context' rather than anything actionable.
