Nikon Z9 Goes to the Moon — NASA's Mirrorless Stress Test

If you ever wondered how NASA validates a camera before committing to it, this is how — they strap it to a Moon mission. The Z9 isn't the primary shooter on Artemis II; it's being tested in deep-space radiation to see if mirrorless electronics can handle conditions that make a cold outdoor wedding look trivial. That NASA is actively transitioning away from the battle-proven D5 tells you everything about where mirrorless reliability now sits — even under the most hostile imaging conditions on record.
