Do you remember the NASA PhoneSat project that we learned about last summer? The purpose of it was to build small nanosatellites using small consumer electronics. Well the Nexus One was the chosen one and it's in space right now. The Nexus One launched on February 25th, and HTC is calling it the first smartpho-naut.

So what is it doing up there? It's taking snapshots, and what's really cool is the 360app is installed on it, which means earth creatures will be able to request snapshots soon. That feature isn't live yet, so stay tuned. For background information on the PhoneSat project, hit the break for a short video.
