NASA Launches Partnership with Netflix to Stream Missions and Spacewalks Worldwide

Starting this summer, NASA programming will become available on Netflix, offering millions of viewers the chance to watch rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, and live footage from the International Space Station. This new collaboration expands access to NASA’s content, which remains free and ad-free on its own platforms, by bringing it to a global audience through one of the world’s largest streaming services.

The agency’s goal is to broaden public engagement by meeting audiences where they already consume content. With Netflix’s reach exceeding 700 million people globally, the partnership is expected to significantly amplify NASA’s educational and outreach efforts. This move is part of NASA’s broader initiative to connect with more people through digital video, audio, social media, and live events.

The content available through Netflix will include real-time mission coverage and views from orbit, alongside other NASA+ programming. While the exact programming schedule has yet to be announced, NASA confirmed that the launch will occur later this summer.

NASA+ will continue to be available for free through the agency’s app and official website, ensuring viewers can still access its content without a subscription. The collaboration aims to inspire wider public interest in science and space exploration by making NASA’s work more accessible and visible.
