NASA has announced that NASA+ is scheduled for launch on Wednesday, November 8. The new streaming platform, which was originally teased in July, is described by the space agency as being an ad-free, no cost, and family-friendly streaming service, one that will offer not only original series, but also Emmy-winning live shows, available through most major platforms. NASA has confirmed that these will include the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices, as well as streaming media players (e.g., Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV) and on the web across desktop and mobile devices. Spot the Station, a new app for Android and iOS devices that makes it easier for people to spot the International Space Station, was also launched today.
“We’re putting space on demand and at your fingertips with NASA’s new streaming platform,” said Marc Etkind, associate administrator, Office of Communications, NASA Headquarters in a press release from July. “Transforming our digital presence will help us better tell the stories of how NASA explores the unknown in air and space, inspires through discovery, and innovates for the benefit of humanity.”
Following the launch of all new digital platforms, NASA will continue to connect additional agency websites and multimedia libraries into this new experience to continually streamline all the information shared across its centers, missions, and programs. With an enhanced digital presence, NASA will share science, research, exploration, and innovation with the world through cohesive platforms.
We launch more than rockets. This month, we launch our new streaming service, NASA+. https://t.co/McWnWOKXSu
