NASA+: NASA's free streaming platform
In line with the current trend in streaming services and with the mission of democratizing research and discovery, NASA has just introduced NASA+, a free, ad-free, and geo-restricted video platform. This means interested viewers can enjoy the content from anywhere, including Brazil.
Access to streaming is available through a dedicated app, on the agency's official website and on the television app, compatible with systems such as Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV.
In addition to being free, NASA+ eliminates the need to create an account for users to enjoy the content.
Within the service's catalog, the public has access to a variety of attractions, including original video series, live coverage of space mission launches, docking viewing, children's content with animations, educational and accessible videos about the space universe, and the latest news from the institution.
Other notable aspects of NASA+ include a Spanish-language version, aimed at more effective communication with the Latino community within and outside the United States, and historical records of the agency.
For example, users can explore official images from the Apollo 13 mission, famous for the phrase “Houston, we have a problem,” as well as other memorable astronaut endeavors in space.
What is the purpose of NASA's streaming platform?
NASA's mission goes beyond simply providing space entertainment. The streaming platform has a significant educational purpose.
The central objective is to share knowledge about the universe, inspiring curious minds and fostering interest in space exploration.
By providing valuable information about scientific discoveries, technological advances, and the wonders of the cosmos, NASA+ aims to bridge the gap between the scientific community and the general public.
The platform will be a valuable resource for students, educators, and space enthusiasts, providing unprecedented insight into NASA's activities.
Transparency and accessibility are fundamental principles, allowing people of all ages and knowledge levels to engage and learn more about our vast universe.

NASA+ can now be downloaded on several major digital platforms, through the NASA app, compatible with mobile devices and tablets running iOS and Android, as well as other streaming options such as Roku and Apple TV.
As NASA embarks on this journey to create its own free streaming platform, the impact promises to be cosmic.
The merger of cutting-edge technology with NASA will open new horizons for understanding space.
By providing free access to diverse space content, the space agency not only entertains but also educates, catalyzing a new era of discovery and inspiring future scientific minds.
