Downloading the new and official NASA app on my Android phone today was a bittersweet experience, what with Atlantis – and NASA’s – last journey ending today. There’re heaps of features considering it’s free – live Nasa TV, images, future mission details *sniffles* and sighting opportunities.
Judging by the information supplied to me, the next opportunity I have to spy on the ISS is July 28, at 4.21am GMT. I’d rather just catch up on Nasa videos, or take a look at their integrated Twitter stream, if I’m honest. Here’s the full list of features:
– Thousands of images from NASA IOTD, APOD and NASAImages.org
– On demand NASA Videos from around the agency
– Current NASA Mission Information
– Launch Information & Countdown clocks
– Current Visible Passes for the International Space Station (ISS)
– ISS and Earth Orbiting Satellite Tracker
– NASA Twitter Feeds from around the agency
– News and Features from the NASA topic areas
– Facebook® Connect and Integrated Twitter™ client for easy sharing
– Live Streaming of NASA TV
– NASA TV and What’s On Your TV schedules
– Map and links to all of the NASA centers
– Featured content section
Out now for iOS and now Android, it’s a free download. [Android Market via The Telegraph]
