US space agency NASA’s on-demand streaming service, NASA+, has launched a FAST channel on Prime Video, providing a new way for viewers to watch the agency’s aeronautics, human spaceflight, science, and technology missions unfold on screen.
As the agency continues with its efforts to inspire new generations through innovation, exploration, and discovery, NASA+ is focused on sharing stories through live launch coverage, original documentaries, family-friendly content, and more.
“Streaming NASA+ on multiple platforms allows the agency to more efficiently share its missions, from launching astronauts to the International Space Station, to going behind the scenes with the team that defends Earth against asteroids, to showcasing new, high-definition images of the cosmos,” said Wes Brown, acting associate administrator for the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “NASA provides an up-close look at how the agency explores the secrets of the universe for the benefit of all by ensuring content is widely available to the public.”
NASA has been busy on social media this year. In February, it hosted a live Twitch event from 250 miles off the Earth aboard the International Space Station, bringing new audiences closer to space than ever before. During the event, viewers heard from NASA astronauts Don Pettit and Matt Dominick about daily life aboard the space station, and the research they have been conducting in microgravity.
NASA+ was launched in 2024, accompanying a redesign of the nasa.gov and science.nasa.gov websites. In addition to the FAST channel, NASA+ is available to download on most major platforms via the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices, as well as streaming media players like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. The space agency also has around 12.4m subscribers on YouTube.
