Netflix will carry NASA’s live content starting this summer
In its quest to bring space exploration to more screens, NASA is partnering with Netflix to stream live programming beginning this summer.
Netflix, the world’s largest paid video streaming service, will begin carrying NASA+ content, the space agency said in a news release. It has not specified a date the streaming will begin.
NASA+ live content includes rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks and views of Earth from the International Space Station. It is also available on the NASA app and the agency’s website.
“The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,” said Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+. “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.”
The content will be available to all of Netflix’s global audience — more than 700 million people, NASA said.
Additional programming details and schedules will be announced ahead of launch, according to the space agency.
