NASA debuts two new educational games for iOS, Facebook

NASA is no stranger to apps , but the space agency is branching out further into some new territory with its two latest offerings: a pair of educational games. The first is Sector 33 , an air traffic control simulator for iOS devices that certainly won’t be confused with Flight Control , but which NASA hopes will help teach math and possibly get folks interested in aviation. Those who prefer their games a bit more casual can also now try out NASA’s very first multiplayer Facebook game, Space Race Blast Off , which tests folks’ knowledge of various space-related topics (and is considerably more challenging than it first appears). Additional details and the games themselves can be found at the source links below.
