Last week (10-23-09 Friday), NASA released an app for the iPhone. This app is perfect for those who are space fanatics – including me. I have downloaded the app and I must say, it is impressive. Especially for a FREE app. The first screen of the app provides up-to-the-minute current and future NASA missions directly from NASA resources. On the bottom of the screen are buttons for missions, images (which contains a HUGE database of photos) that you can email or save to your iPhone, videos (obtained from NASA TV consisting of science updates, mission activity, rocket launches and other activities), and updates (from @NASA twitter feeds). The app also allows you to search for any specific mission, and find information, images or videos for whatever you search. You can also access countdown clocks, image of the day, astronomy image of the day, online videos, NASA’s twitter feeds, and more. Not only that, you can track where the International Space Station is at any moment, as well as other spacecraft orbiting the planet, all in three different views (maps with labels/borders, available visible imagery of satellites, and satellite positions overlaid on maps with country labels/borders). Overall, I really like what NASA has done with this app. It is extremely informative. To download the app on your iPhone, you can click the iTunes App Store Button or search on your iPhone (NASA). If anybody has tried this app and find it useful, comment below to share the wealth with our fellow readers!
