NASA+ launches on Prime Video — at no cost.

      Space fans are in for an exciting experience now that NASA has launched a FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) channel on Prime Video for its NASA+ programming.

      This new channel allows viewers to watch live rocket launches, exclusive mission insights, documentaries, and stunning space visuals directly on Prime Video, without needing a Prime subscription or encountering advertisements. The NASA+ FAST channel can be found in the Live TV or Watch for Free categories on Prime Video.

      This initiative enhances accessibility to NASA's content, enabling audiences to follow space missions, scientific developments, and cosmic discoveries from virtually any device.

      “As the agency strives to improve life on Earth and inspire future generations through innovation, exploration, and discovery, NASA+ is committed to sharing stories via live launch coverage, original documentaries, family-oriented content, and more,” stated NASA in a message on its website this week.

      In addition to the new FAST channel, NASA+ can also be accessed without a subscription on most major platforms through the NASA app on iOS and Android devices, as well as on streaming media players like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. Viewers can also stream NASA+ online.

      “Streaming NASA+ across various platforms enables the agency to effectively share its missions, from sending astronauts to the International Space Station to offering behind-the-scenes insights into the team's efforts to protect Earth from asteroids, along with presenting new, high-definition images of the universe,” commented Wes Brown, acting associate administrator for the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “NASA provides an intimate look into how the agency explores the mysteries of the universe for everyone's benefit by ensuring that content is easily accessible and widely available to the public.”

      NASA has a wealth of upcoming events for space enthusiasts in the next year, including the EscaPADE Mars mission, which will investigate the magnetosphere of the red planet after its launch on Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket; a SpaceX crewed mission (Crew-11) to the space station in July; the next crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft following its previous troubled mission; and the inaugural ISS cargo mission of Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser spacecraft.

      NASA is set to conduct its first press conference just a few hours after Crew-9 returned from the space station after a nine-month mission initially meant to last eight days.

      After spending nine months aboard the International Space Station (ISS)—despite the mission only being scheduled for eight days—NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have at last departed from the ISS and are en route back home. They undocked from the orbital facility at 1:05 a.m. ET on Tuesday, March 18, aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, accompanied by fellow NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.
