NASA now in the iTunes App Store!
Have you ever had that awkward moment
when a friend asks you for the updated launch time of the next NASA
mission? Or, have you ever hungered for the latest images and video
from NASA?
Here's you solution! A NASA App for the iPhone and iPod
touch is available free of charge at the Apple iTunes App Store. All of NASA, all mobile, at your fingertips!
A NASA App for the iPhone and iPod touch is available free of charge at the App Store from Apple. The NASA application will deliver a wealth of information, videos, images and news updates about NASA missions to people's fingertips.
"Making NASA more accessible to the public is a high priority for the agency," said Gale Allen, director of Strategic Integration and Management for NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate in Washington. "Tools like this allow us to provide users easy access to NASA information and progress at a fast pace."
The NASA App collects, customizes and delivers an extensive selection of dynamically updated information, images and videos from various online NASA sources. Users can access NASA countdown clocks, the NASA Image of the Day, Astronomy Image of the Day, online videos, NASA's many Twitter feeds and other information in a convenient mobile package. It delivers NASA content in a clear and intuitive way by making full use of the iPhone and iPod touch features, including the Multi-Touch user interface. The New Media Team at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., developed the application.
The NASA App also allows users to track the current positions of the International Space Station and other spacecraft currently orbiting Earth in three views: a map with borders and labels, visible satellite imagery, or satellite overlaid with country borders and labels.
"We're excited to deliver a wide range of up-to-the-minute NASA content to iPhone and iPod touch users," said Gary Martin, director of the New Ventures and Communications Directorate at Ames. "The NASA App provides an easy and interesting way for the public to experience space exploration."

>SCIENTISTS DECODE FIRST MESSAGE FROM AN ALIEN CIVILIZATION<
Simply send 6 x 10^50 hydrogen atoms to the star system at the top of the list,
cross off that system, then put your star system at the bottom of the list and
send it to 100 other star systems. Within one galactic rotation you will receive
enough hydrogen to power your civilization until entropy reaches its maximum!
IT REALLY WORKS!
