How to Watch NASA Spacewalks and Missions Live on Netflix

In a move that combines elements of a Saturday afternoon strategy and a science fiction fantasy, NASA and Netflix are collaborating to stream NASA+ live programs directly on the service, which is part of every membership. Translation: You will be the first in line for those amazing views of Earth from the International Space Station (ISS), sweat-pitting astronaut spacewalks, and ignition-sequence-go rocket launches.

“Our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,” explains Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+. “Together, we’re committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration — inspiring new generations — right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone.”

Netflix has an audience of over 700 million people globally. By tapping into that massive viewership, NASA is not only expanding the scope of its missions — it’s also opening the door wide. The agency has a history of utilizing video, audio, social media, and live events, but this collaboration integrates the universe into one of the most recognizable environments: the living room.

How can you watch NASA+ live programming on Netflix?

• Beginning later this summer, you will discover NASA+ live feeds integrated into the Netflix interface, right next to your favorite shows.
