How to Connect with NASA
We're the nation’s space agency, but that doesn’t mean you have to travel to the depths of the universe to stay connected with the awesome stuff we’re doing. There are actually some really easy ways to stay updated on all things space. Check them out:
Apps
We have lots of apps for smartphones and tablets that will make it easier than ever to stay connected to space. Here are a few to pique your interest:
NASA App: Showcases a huge collection of the latest content, including images, videos, mission information, stories, space station sighting opportunities and more! Download: Apple/Android

Competitions and Challenges
NASA Solve is an invitation to members of the public to contribute their time and expertise to solving problems and potentially winning prizes as a result of their work. This is a great way for individual members of the public to be a part of the nation’s space program. For a complete list of current challenges and competitions, visit THIS page.
Citizen Science
You don’t have to be a NASA employee to engage in the fun of interpreting scientific data and imagery from our many spacecraft and missions. As part of our Open Government plan, our goal is to promote transparency, participation and collaboration. By expanding the research base and using open innovation, we are all able to benefit from the accumulated findings. You can find data from our missions, research and activities HERE.
Email and Social Media
We have a wide-range of social media accounts here at NASA. Everything from Earth Science to the Mars Curiosity Rover, you can stay updated on many of our missions on many popular social media sites. For a full list of our accounts, visit THIS page.
If you’d like to get space news delivered straight to your inbox, you can sign up for updates and manage preferences HERE.
NASA Socials
What is a NASA Social? We’re glad you asked! These programs provide opportunities for our social media followers to learn and share information about our missions, people and programs. NASA Social includes both special in-person events and social media credentials for individuals who share the news in a significant way. Social events provide the participants with the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes at our facilities and events and speak with scientists engineers, astronauts and managers. Visit THIS page for a list of upcoming NASA Social opportunities.

Top Camera Shops In Singapore
As a tourist in Singapore, if you make any purchase of more than S$100 (including GST) at participating shops, you may claim a refund on the 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid on your purchases. You are entitled up to 3 same-day receipts/invoices from shops bearing the same GST registration number to meet this minimum purchase amount of S$100. To know whether a shop is participating in the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS), look for a “Tax Free” shopping logo or sign displayed at the shop. You can then claim your refund later when departing Singapore at Changi Airport.
Typically speaking, any electronics purchased in Singapore will have a warranty that is only valid for there. A number of manufacturers, however, have a system known as TLW (Tourist Limited Warranty). The TLW is a warranty that is issued to customers at the point of purchase, so be sure to inquire about it whenever purchasing brand new equipment. The terms of this warranty differ from brand to brand so it will be something that needs proper researching.

Naturally, there are many more shops dotted around Singapore, but really there is little need to run around when these two locations have all your needs covered under one roof (or two as is the case with Peninsula Plaza/Centre).
In terms of other large retailers, there are a few more stores in shopping malls such as Plaza Singapora & Marina Square. Namely stores like TKfoto on the 4th floor of Plaza Singapora.
TKfoto is a well respected name amongst local photographers. They are also one of the few stores with a hands on area so you can test out the latest models of Sony, Canon & Nikon cameras. In addition to this, there is a small drone test pilot area if you fancy having a play with the latest tech from DJI.
In my opinion, if you are looking to buy something of low value, most shops are doing around the same prices, so just get the one closest to you and don’t waste too much precious time shopping around, the savings may outweigh the costs in time.
