NASA released its first official app for the iPhone today, officially launching the iPhone into the final frontier. The free app allows you to explore different NASA missions like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Exploration Rovers. And not only do you get mission details, but you can also check out images, videos and see what NASA is tweeting about concerning the mission.

The NASA app is free and is available on the iPhone app store right now.
