Latest iPhone App From NASA

By , About.com Guide   October 29, 2009

Follow me on:

Love space and astronomy? Have an iPhone (I wish)? Well the ultimate geek tool is now available -- a new iPhone app that will allow you to keep up on all things NASA anywhere, anytime!

The new free application, developed by NASA themselves, has four functions: Missions, Videos, Images, and Updates. The video and image functions will give you access to NASAs vast archive of, well, images and videos.

The mission function gives you access to information about any of NASAs many satellites, shuttle launches, Moon missions, rocket tests... well you get the idea. But if you just want to know what the latest happenings are, check out the updates function. You could also track orbiting craft like the international space station in real time.

Perhaps the coolest feature (in my geeky opinion) is the NASA picture of the day. Let's face it, space and astronomy pictures are pretty cool (don't believe me, check out the vast array of image galleries on this site), so this is a great way to have those images sent right to your phone.
