"Viewers will have the chance to watch rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission reports, and stunning views of Earth from the International Space Station," stated the American space agency.

"The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 urges us to share the story of space exploration with as broad an audience as possible," said NASA+ General Manager Rebecca Simons.

NASA hopes that this will allow them to "convey the excitement of discoveries, inventions, and space exploration to people, wherever they may be."
