  • This partnership marks the first time Netflix has licensed a live feed from an outside programmer in the U.S. as it broadens its live-streaming strategy.
  • NASA+ content will remain free and ad-free on the agency’s app and website, ensuring multiple access points even after the Netflix launch.
  • Exact dates and detailed programming schedules will be shared ahead of the summer debut, while financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.
