NASA is Launching Its Own Streaming Service

Space is exciting. The moon landing over 50 years ago is a distant memory by this point, but NASA hasn’t slowed down on space exploration and even plans to ramp up moon landings again with the Artemis program over the next few years, with an uncrewed launch taking place last year. With all these exciting developments, there should be a way to easily keep track of them. Now, you’ll have one — NASA’s very own streaming service.



NASA has announced that it’s about to launch its very own on-demand streaming service, which it’ll call “NASA+.” Through NASA+, the agency will make available for streaming space-related content, including insights into NASA’s missions with collections of original video series and even its excellent, Emmy Award-winning live coverage. This won’t be a video streaming app that will challenge the catalog of content apps like Netflix or Disney+ have, but it will be a great resource if you happen to really like space and want to keep up with the latest advancements in space exploration by the United States.

Marc Etkind, associate administrator at the office of communications at NASA’s headquarters, says that the agency is “putting space on demand and at your fingertips with NASA’s new streaming platform,” and that “transforming our digital presence will help us better tell the stories of how NASA explores the unknown in air and space, inspires through discovery, and innovates for the benefit of humanity.” The associate administrator of the Science Mission Directory, Nicky Fox, added that “from exoplanet research to better understanding Earth’s climate and the influence of the Sun on our planet along with exploration of the solar system, our new science and flagship websites, as well as forthcoming NASA+ videos, showcases our discovery programs in an interdisciplinary and crosscutting way, ultimately building stronger connections with our visitors and viewers.”

NASA+ will be available free of cost, and free of ads, which is a nice change of pace from the mainstream streaming services. It will be available through iOS and Android via the NASA app, and it should also be available to watch on Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV devices.
