NASA+ streaming service is launching on November 8th،
Alright, space enthusiasts, get ready to navigate a new digital cosmos! NASA has rolled out some brilliant updates to its websites and, hold on to your space helmets, it also announced the launch of NASA+. This is the agency’s own streaming service that comes to your screens without costing a cent. We’re drifting into an ad-free zone where the whole family can indulge in cosmic adventures, and it won’t add a dime to your bill. Now, for a little cosmic comparison to bring us back to Earth, most streaming services – think big names like Disney+ – typically ask for a monthly tribute of $7.99 (for a basic plan) from your wallet. Then there’s Curiosity Stream, a documentary lover’s paradise, where the wonders of science and history are revealed for around $2.99 per month. But NASA+? It takes off in this generous expanse of gifts. NASA+ is scheduled to launch on November 8, following a successful beta phase. Unlike other streaming platforms, NASA+ will not require any subscription and will remain completely ad-free. It aims to provide an exclusive look at live NASA broadcasts, known for their Emmy Award-winning production quality, as well as a curated selection of original series showcasing the agency’s pioneering missions.
Speaking of Emmy Awards, SpaceX and NASA’s interactive launch of the Demo-1 mission won an Emmy in 2019. And let’s not forget the brains at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. They won an Emmy for their knockout coverage of the Insight mission to Mars that same year.
The launch of NASA+ is part of a broader NASA initiative to transform its digital landscape. In addition to the streaming service, NASA is revamping its flagship and science websites to provide a more cohesive and informative experience.
As part of its digital transformation, NASA’s app is also undergoing an upgrade. Upcoming enhancements are expected to align with the launch of NASA+ and will further streamline user access to the agency’s wealth of multimedia content. With these advances, NASA is positioning itself at the digital forefront, making space exploration and science more accessible to audiences around the world. So mark your calendars for November 8 and prepare to explore the cosmos like never before with NASA+.
