The Olympus Corporation today announces its 90 year anniversary project, "Olympus Space".  Dr. Koichi Wakata, a Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut, will use the Olympus E-3 Digital SLR camera and ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses to photograph the Earth from the "Kibo" - the Japanese experimental module within the International Space Station (ISS).

The photographs will be posted on Olympus' websites and shown at photo exhibitions. The wonderful images of the Earth taken from space will make people recognise the importance of our environment.
