Starting in summer 2025, Netflix will expand its offerings with an unusual collaboration: The U.S. space agency NASA will bring its livestream program, NASA+, to the streaming platform.
With a new partnership, NASA is taking another step to make its content accessible to a global audience: Starting in summer 2025, NASA+’s live programming will also be available on Netflix. The partnership with Netflix expands this offering with additional reach, especially on devices where the NASA app was previously unavailable.
Livestreams Directly in the Netflix App
The NASA+ livestreams will soon appear on the regular Netflix interface, right alongside series and movies. Users will be able to stream real-time broadcasts of missions, spacewalks, and spectacular views of Earth from 400 kilometers above. Rocket launches will also be regularly available live. There is no additional cost for users; the offering is included in all Netflix subscriptions and is ad-free.
More Visibility for Space Exploration
NASA aims to strengthen interest in science and space exploration through this partnership. “Our mission is to tell the story of space exploration to the widest possible audience,” explains Rebecca Sirmons, General Manager of NASA+. The partnership with Netflix is a step into a “golden era of innovation and discovery,” Sirmons adds. For years, the agency has relied on audiovisual content to showcase its work. The new presence on Netflix is intended to elevate this approach to a new level.
Strategic Expansion of Live Content at Netflix
For Netflix, the collaboration with NASA also means an expansion of its live offerings. The streaming service has increasingly invested in live formats such as sports broadcasts and show events in recent months. The NASA+ livestreams fit into this strategy and simultaneously open up a new thematic field.
Technical Integration Offers Advantages
Another advantage of the Netflix integration is broader device availability. While the NASA app is available on platforms like iOS, Android, Roku, and Apple TV, it has been missing on gaming consoles and certain smart TVs. By integrating with Netflix, users of such devices can access NASA content without additional app installation or registration.

Further Information to Follow
Specific launch dates and program details for NASA+ livestreams on Netflix will be announced in the coming weeks. Netflix mentions only that NASA+ content will be available by the end of the summer. Until then, access to NASA+ remains available through the agency’s website and official apps. However, the partnership with Netflix already marks a significant step in making space exploration more visible to a global audience.
