Available now, NASA’s new streaming service and an enhanced application offer a gateway to NASA’s unique content for everyone’s benefit. These innovative digital outlets are a hub for exclusive video series, live coverage of launches, children’s programs, Spanish-language content, and the latest updates, demonstrating NASA’s ongoing contributions to enhancing life on Earth through innovation, exploration, and discovery.

The streaming service can be downloaded on major platforms using the NASA App for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, as well as on Roku and Apple TV streaming devices. It is also accessible online at:

NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy stated, “NASA is at the forefront in the federal government in producing inspiring content that resonates with people wherever they are. With the revamped NASA website, the launch of NASA+, and the updated NASA App, we have formed a dynamic trio that highlights the extensive benefits our data offers to humanity.”

These platforms are designed to make NASA’s content more accessible, discoverable, and secure for the public. Earlier this year, NASA introduced its redesigned nasa.gov and science.nasa.gov websites, creating a centralized location for research, climate data, Artemis program details, and more.

Marc Etkind, Associate Administrator of the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters, said, “NASA’s new streaming platform and app are where the world can connect with us as we journey into the unknown. NASA is behind some of the most extraordinary human stories, and our new digital presence ensures that these stories are available to everyone, anytime.”

Free Access to Remarkable Human Achievements

The family-friendly, free, ad-free streaming service offers viewers access to NASA’s Emmy Award-winning live coverage and insights into NASA’s missions through a variety of original video series, including newly launched ones on the streaming service.

Starting today, NASA+ offers original content such as:

  • A documentary series on each image from the James Webb Space Telescope, plus another series on the journey of this most powerful space telescope from the laboratory to launch.
  • Animated shows for children about planets, universal mysteries, and interstellar worlds.
  • A series chronicling the personal journeys of Black NASA astronauts.
