NASA has recently announced that they have released version 1.2 of the NASA iPhone Application. You can explore ongoing NASA missions, view NASA images and videos, and receive updates on happenings from NASA. Personally I like that you have the ability to find out when the International Space Station or Space Shuttle will be viewable from your location.

Best of all, this application is free of charge. You can download it onto your iPhone, iPod Touch, or within iTunes. Some of the new features are listed below.

What’s new in version 1.2:

  • Facebook Connect for easy sharing of images, videos, tweets and mission information
  • Integrated Twitter™ client for posting, retweeting, replying to, and direct messaging
  • NASAImages.org collection – With over 125,000 new images to browse and search
  • “Center” button for the orbital tracking feature
  • Advanced search option
  • Offline caching system
