NASA is soon launching its exclusive streaming platform, known as NASA+, scheduled for a summer release. Despite the space agency’s existing website already featuring livestreams of launches and other events, NASA+ intends to enhance this offering by presenting not only live broadcasts but also a range of original video series. Several of these series will be new titles that are set to debut with the service. In an exciting twist, this service will be completely free and will not disrupt viewing with advertisements, making it the ideal spot for avid viewers of NASA and space-related content.
NASA+ will be accessible via the agency’s applications on iOS and Android mobile devices. It will also be available on desktop and mobile browsers and will support on-demand streaming through various media players including Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV.
Marc Etkind from NASA’s Communications Office commented:
“With NASA’s new streaming platform, we’re making space accessible on demand and right at your fingertips. This shift in our digital strategy will allow us to narrate more effectively how NASA journeys into the uncharted realms of air and space, stimulates minds through discovery, and pioneers advancements for the betterment of mankind.”
Furthermore, NASA is also undergoing a comprehensive digital transformation. It’s currently developing an improved web (and app) experience, designed to more effectively amalgamate information concerning its missions, research initiatives, and updates on the Artemis program, to mention a few. Currently, NASA operates numerous websites for its various programs and divisions, but this enhanced platform will incorporate content from multiple sources. The new site will also provide integrated navigation and a search feature for easier information retrieval across NASA websites. Although the beta version of the revamped web experience is already available for visits, the agency plans to continue adding more libraries and websites even post the full launch.
