It covers all the current missions from Shuttle to the new Aries I-X Next Generation Rocket. They also include updates from Twitter. Some similar apps that just do the twitter feeds are available also, but they don't include the extras and this one is free. The only thing I wished it had was a calendar or section for future launches. I'll have to suggest that to them.&nbsp;</span></p>

And a live feed from NASA TV. I was very disappointed that I couldn't stream the (failed) launch of the Aries today. Had to resort to my (gasp!) PC, and had to use Internet Explorer to boot, since it seems to require a WMP plug-in.

Select Filters from the main page and select Launch Schedules. I think that's what you're looking.

Hmm, would Flip4Mac work for this?

Never mind - I just saw the first reply; you can also get a QT version. Still, Flip4Mac can come in handy . . .

You can get the NASA Live Feed by just going to http://iphone.akamai.com

Works best over Wi-Fi...
