‘The organization is also focused on enhancing the unified online user experience.’
NASA is set to launch its own streaming platform called NASA+ this summer. The platform will not only feature live broadcasts of launches and events, but also include collections of original video series. The best part is that it will be free and ad-free, making it the perfect destination for binge-watching NASA and space content.
The streaming service will be available through NASA’s iOS and Android apps, as well as desktop and mobile browsers. Users will also be able to stream shows on demand through media players like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV.
Marc Etkind, from NASA’s Office of Communications, expressed excitement about the new platform, stating, “We’re putting space on demand and at your fingertips with NASA’s new streaming platform. 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.”
In addition to launching its streaming service, NASA is revamping its digital presence. The agency is currently working on a new web and app experience that will consolidate information about its missions, research projects, and updates about the Artemis program, among other things. This new experience will bring together content from various NASA websites and offer integrated navigation and search functions for easier access to information. The beta version of the upgraded web experience is already available, with plans to connect more libraries and websites to it even after its full launch.
