NASA-Netflix collaboration is taking off this summer with plans to stream NASA+ content directly on the OTT platform. Netflix, which reaches over 700 million users globally, will soon allow subscribers to watch live spacewalks, rocket launches, and views from the International Space Station (ISS).
Netflix confirmed that this content will be available across all subscription plans. While NASA+ already offers this content for free on its app and website, Netflix hopes to make it more accessible by integrating it into its regular streaming lineup.
Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+, shared her excitement about the move. “Our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,” she said. Netflix echoed that goal in a press release, stating, “We’re committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration, inspiring new generations.”
The live feeds will appear directly in the Netflix interface alongside TV shows and movies. Although the official start date hasn’t been announced yet, the rollout is expected by late summer.

NASA-Netflix Collaboration Coming Soon
As part of the NASA-Netflix collaboration, the platform will feature at least five major space missions this year. These include NASA’s Boeing Starliner-1, SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission, Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser, the X-59 supersonic jet, and NISAR, a joint Earth-observation satellite developed by NASA and ISRO.
Netflix confirmed that it will release full streaming schedules closer to each launch. The company also urged viewers to check its fan platform, Tudum, for regular updates.
Meanwhile, NASA emphasized that the partnership aims to bring the excitement of space exploration directly into people’s daily lives. “We want people to feel connected to our missions, whether from their couch or on their phone,” said a NASA spokesperson.
The NISAR satellite has already created excitement in India. As a collaboration between NASA and ISRO, the mission will track sea level rise, groundwater depletion, and natural disasters through advanced radar technology.
Although Netflix has not announced an official launch date, this NASA-Netflix collaboration clearly signals a major shift in how the public engages with real-time science. By delivering space content through a familiar platform, the project helps global viewers experience exploration like never before.
