NASA+ will offer live programming of rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage, and live views of Earth from the International Space Station through its new streaming platform on Netflix.
“The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,” Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+ at the agency’s headquarters in Washington said. “Together, we’re committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration – inspiring new generations – right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone.”
NASA+ first launched in 2023 to make space content more accessible to the public. The service will continue to be available for free and ad-free through the NASA app and website. NASA wrote that they hope to bring even more awareness to their work through Netflix’s global audience of more than 700 million people.
“Through this partnership, NASA’s work in science and exploration will become even more accessible, allowing the agency to increase engagement with and inspire a global audience in a modern media landscape,” Cheryl Warner, NASA news chief, wrote in a press release.
Livestream schedules will drop closer to launch day, so Netflix advises viewers to check for more details in the coming weeks.
