NASA+ lands on Netflix: Stream live rocket launches, spacewalks & more soon
NASA+ lands on Netflix: Netflix is going interstellar—literally! In a game-changing move, the streaming giant has teamed up with Nasa to bring the cosmos closer than ever before. Starting later this summer, Netflix subscribers will get access to NASA+, the space agency's official streaming service, offering front-row seats to real rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, and breathtaking live views from the International Space Station—all without leaving the couch. In a statement released on June 30, Nasa said the partnership is part of its mission to inspire a global audience. While NASA+ will now stream on Netflix, the space agency confirmed that all content will continue to be free and ad-free on its official app and website, where viewers already tune in for live coverage and original programming. Netflix-Nasa's collab for the first time This deal marks the first time Netflix will feature Nasa's live programming. The platform has already experimented with live content, like comedy specials and sports, but this is its first step into live space coverage. '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+, said in the release. This partnership comes at a time when commercial space launches are booming, especially thanks to Elon Musk's company, SpaceX. In just the first half of 2025, SpaceX has already completed 81 rocket launches, according to Space Explored. It's also the only US company approved to carry astronauts to the International Space Station. At the same time, NASA continues to support missions close to Earth, in what's called low-Earth orbit. As for Netflix, the platform now has over 700 million users worldwide. Its shares have hit record-high prices, rising by nearly 51 per cent since the start of the year. About NASA+ NASA+ is Nasa's own ad-free streaming service, launched in 2023 and already available for free via the NASA app and website. It offers documentaries, mission footage, educational videos, and live broadcasts, all without ads. This Netflix partnership is not Nasa's first move into popular streaming. Earlier this year, they launched a live 'FAST' channel on Prime Video as well. But with over 700 million users, Netflix could help Nasa reach an even bigger global audience. When will this partnership happen? The NASA+ section on Netflix is due to launch in summer 2025, although exact dates haven't been confirmed yet. Along with live streams, viewers will get behind-the-scenes clips, expert interviews, and in-depth documentaries on space science and exploration.

NASA to live-stream launches, spacewalks on Netflix
NASA will launch its live-streamed programming on Netflix -- featuring rocket liftoffs, astronaut spacewalks and live views of Earth from the International Space Station -- starting this summer, the space agency announced Monday. File Photo by Aaron Sprecher/UPI | License Photo June 30 (UPI) -- NASA plans to launch its live-streamed programming on Netflix -- featuring rocket liftoffs, astronaut spacewalks and live views of Earth from the International Space Station -- to the "broadest possible audience," starting this summer, the space agency announced Monday. Through Netflix, NASA+ could expand the space agency's reach to a global audience of more than 700 million viewers. NASA+ will continue to be available for free through the space agency's website and through the NASA app. "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+ at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C. "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," Sirmons added. NASA's grainy footage of the first Apollo moon landing in 1969 captured 650 million viewers around the world. Now the space agency is planning to showcase its Artemis moon missions with numerous high-definition cameras. Artemis II, which will orbit a crew around the moon, is currently targeting a launch date of April 2026. Artemis III, which will land on the moon, is currently scheduled for the middle of 2027. "I hope to be on the moon missions, but if I'm not, I'm going to be glued to my TV, and I'm going to be watching almost everything that comes down," Artemis astronaut Scott Tingle told UPI in 2021. "There's a huge opportunity here to pipe a lot of this through NASA TV, and I don't think that this organization is going to miss an opportunity to do that if it's technically possible," Tingle added. Netflix has been showcasing space exploration content for years. In 2021, Netflix released a five-part docuseries on SpaceX and the first launch of its all-private orbital spaceflight, Inspiration4. The series featured footage of the entire mission "from training to launch to landing." That same year, Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, produced a full-length feature film shot at the International Space Station to promote the growing commercialization of orbital spaceflight. In 2020, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted that actor Tom Cruise would fly to the space station for a movie, but no date was announced. The film is still in development, as plans call for Cruise to become the first civilian to perform a spacewalk outside of ISS. "More and more movies and videos will be shot in space as the price of launches falls due to competition from firms like SpaceX and Blue Origin," James Neihouse, IMAX movie cinematographer told UPI.
