NASA Android app ready for watching space shuttle Atlantis launch

PanARMENIAN.Net - NASA has launched the Android version of the NASA App just in time to use it to watch the space shuttle Atlantis launch, Geek.com reports.

The same app has been available for the iPhone and iPad for some time and has achieved over 5 million downloads.

As well as the ability to watch the space shuttle Atlantis launch from Android device, the NASA app offers up thousands of images from NASA’s growing collection, a library of NASA videos, mission information both past and present, launch countdown clocks, visible pass information for the International Space Station, ISS and Earth Orbiting Satellite tracking, and access to social features such as NASA Twitter and Facebook posts.

It’s effectively a treasure trove of information for all the NASA fans out there, and looks to be kept up-to-date with new information of a regular basis.

Best of all, the app is free to download and use. It’s 4MB and works with Android 2.1 onwards. There is a note next to the NASA TV feature that states it isn’t compatible with all devices, so you’ll have to check if it works with your particular hardware.
