NASA has ventured into the streaming world with the official launch of NASA+, a free, advertisement-free, and family-friendly on-demand streaming service to make space discovery more accessible to all.
This digital platform aims to shuttle original series, live launch coverage, children’s content, Spanish-language programming, and the latest news from NASA to the masses.
While most streaming services have been bumping up their prices, the space agency is, rather ironically, keeping things down to earth. NASA+’s content is free to ensure that the public can learn more about the great unknown without unnecessary barriers.
With its debut, NASA+ already includes Emmy Award-winning live coverage and original video series, covering topics like the James Webb Space Telescope, space exploration, personal stories of Black NASA astronauts, asteroid sample return missions, and more. It also offers animated kids’ shows about space and the universe.
Additionally, the service will live-stream significant events, such as space launches and missions to the Moon, including the historic launch of the first woman and person of color to the Moon.
Above is a preview of an original NASA+ program that pairs ultra-high-definition galactic visuals with “a spaced-out soundtrack.”
NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy expresses the importance of “creating inspirational content that meets people where they are,” adding that there are “many benefits our data can have for all humanity.”
Enthusiasts of the cosmos can access NASA+ via the newly updated NASA App on iOS and Android devices, as well as streaming media players like Roku and Apple TV. Online streaming is also available at plus.nasa.gov.
