The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has launched its own streaming platform. The agency also upgraded its mobile app for a better experience.

When it comes to NASA, most people would think of spaceships and traveling to other planets. This is true, but this time, NASA has something special for space enthusiasts. NASA+ is a streaming platform that’s not intended to compete with Apple TV or Netflix but to cover NASA’s Emmy Award-winning live and become a hub for aeronautics fans. The fans can watch video series related to space travel and aeronautics science.

NASA launches its own streaming platform for space enthusiasts

The space agency has also upgraded its mobile app, but the stable version will be available to users in the coming months. Likewise, NASA has launched a new version of its website, and you can provide the organization with your feedback. The website is still running on the beta version.

NASA is boosting its online presence by launching digital initiatives. This way, the space agency can stay in touch with the fans and share some valuable knowledge with people interested in this field.

NASA+ will create a direct communication channel between the space agency and fans around the globe. Additionally, NASA can present itself as a friendly yet professional research environment. This might be a lesson for bureaucratic organizations that underestimate the importance of digital presence.

Nicky Fox, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, noted that the NASA+ platform, new website, and the upgraded mobile app will help the agency to cover a wide range of topics, including understanding Earth’s climate, exoplanet research, the Sun’s impact on our planet, etc. Additionally, various discovery programs will be broadcasted through these channels.
