NASA+ Launches FAST Channel on Prime Video

WASHINGTON—NASA's on-demand streaming service, NASA+, has launched a FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) channel on Prime Video.

The May 6 launch gives viewers another way to watch the agency's aeronautics, human spaceflight, science, and technology missions unfold on screen, NASA said.

"Streaming NASA+ on multiple platforms allows the agency to more efficiently share its missions, from launching astronauts to the International Space Station, to going behind the scenes with the team that defends Earth against asteroids, to showcasing new, high-definition images of the cosmos," said Wes Brown, acting associate administrator for the Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "NASA provides an up-close look at how the agency explores the secrets of the universe for the benefit of all by ensuring content is easily accessible and widely available to the public."

In addition to the FAST channel, NASA+ is available to download without a subscription on most major platforms via the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices, as well as streaming media players like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. Users also may stream online at https://plus.nasa.gov.
