It's not just another documentary about space. NASA and Netflix have just announced a partnership that brings live broadcasts from space directly to the world's largest streaming platform. Rocket launches, research missions, and even a glimpse into life on the International Space Station – you can now watch all of this as easily as a crime series.
– “The Space Act of 1958 requires us to share our story with as broad an audience as possible,” says Rebecca Sirmons from NASA+. – “We are entering the Golden Age of Exploration – from the couch or from your phone.”
Live broadcasts from NASA+
Until now, NASA has been broadcasting in its NASA+ app (including on Apple TV and Fire TV), but now it's taking a step further – globally. In practice, this means that over 700 million Netflix users around the world will be able to watch space in real-time.
No more is needed – NASA content will be available in the Netflix interface like any other movie or series. The broadcasts will be streamed in HD quality, so you can comfortably watch it on a big screen – or just take a peek at the ISS from your phone on the tram.
A new era of space broadcasting? Definitely. And this time, no telescope is required – just Netflix.
