之前 Nexus S 也試過上太空，今次就趕搭了尾班機，坐美國穿梭機「阿特蘭蒂斯號」發射升空，也是穿梭機的最後一次任務。
Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), a leading mobile phone provider and the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S. 1, and Google™ today announced Nexus™ S is aboard NASA’s final space shuttle.
任務在身
Nexus S 當然不只是遊機河，是有任務在身。
Nexus 會配合一個小型的人造衞星 SPHERES，讓太空人可以於地面的人員有更好對話通訊。而 Nexus S 更是首部美國太空總署認証的商用智能電話，用於穿梭機的飛行任務。
Nexus S from Google is part of research that will equip small, free-flying satellites called Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) used by the astronauts to provide a broader range of capabilities and give better communication between land and sky. Nexus S is the first commercial smartphone certified by NASA to fly on the space shuttle and to be cleared for use on the International Space Station.
