NASA announced Thursday that NASA+ is now available on Amazon Fire TV Channels, expanding the streaming service's reach across multiple platforms. The move continues NASA's effort to distribute space exploration content more widely. Fire TV customers can access NASA programming through voice commands on compatible Alexa devices.
NASA+ will stream future coverage of science mission launches, a crewed Artemis lunar landing test flight involving rendezvous and docking with human landing systems, robotic lunar cargo deliveries, and the first crewed Artemis mission to the Moon. The service remains free and ad-supported across the NASA app, the agency's website, and now Fire TV. Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+ at NASA Headquarters, tied the expansion to the 1958 National Aeronautics and Space Act, which mandates sharing space exploration stories with the broadest possible audience.
The announcement aligns with NASA's stated priorities announced earlier this year, including increased cadence of Artemis lunar surface missions and development of humanity's first Moon Base. The agency framed the Fire TV partnership as part of its commitment to transparency and public engagement around upcoming missions and educational content.
The service previously gained attention following Artemis II, which Sirmons said captured global viewership and inspired what NASA calls the Artemis generation. The multi-platform distribution strategy aims to meet viewers on their preferred devices and channels.
