Netflix has announced an exciting new partnership with NASA to bring live and recorded space-related content to its subscribers starting in summer 2025. The announcement made on June 30 aims to offer viewers access to breathtaking experiences such as rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, and stunning views of Earth from the International Space Station (ISS).
The collaboration is designed to make space exploration more accessible to families. As Netflix highlighted, *"Whether you're a space fanatic or someone who simply loves to see the Earth shine from over 400 km altitude, the countdown has officially begun."* This partnership follows Netflix's previous collaboration with the French broadcaster TF1, which allowed for live channel streaming, marking a notable expansion in the streaming service's live content offerings.
As of December 2024, Netflix boasts over 300 million global subscribers and has previously ventured into live event streaming with success, including NFL games and a boxing match. However, NASA has clarified that its own live broadcasts of space missions will remain free and ad-free on NASA’s website and app, ensuring that public access to space missions continues regardless of the new partnership with Netflix.
