NASA Wants to Bring Livestreams to Netflix
Starting in summer 2025, Netflix will expand its offerings with an unusual collaboration: The U.S. space agency NASA will bring its livestream program NASA+ to the streaming platform. With a new partnership, NASA is taking another step to make its content accessible to a global audience: Starting in summer 2025, NASA+'s live programming will also be available on Netflix. The partnership with Netflix expands this offering with additional reach–especially on devices where the NASA app was previously unavailable. The NASA+ livestreams will soon appear on the regular Netflix interface, right alongside series and movies. Users will be able to stream real-time broadcasts of missions, spacewalks, and spectacular views of Earth from 400 kilometers above. Rocket launches will also be regularly available live. There is no additional cost for users; the offering is included in all Netflix subscriptions and is ad-free. NASA aims to strengthen interest in science and space exploration through this partnership. 'Our mission is to tell the story of space exploration to the widest possible audience,' explains Rebecca Sirmons, General Manager of NASA+. The partnership with Netflix is a step into a 'golden era of innovation and discovery,' Sirmons adds. For years, the agency has relied on audiovisual content to showcase its work. The new presence on Netflix is intended to elevate this approach to a new level. For Netflix, the collaboration with NASA also means an expansion of its live offerings. The streaming service has increasingly invested in live formats such as sports broadcasts and show events in recent months. The NASA+ livestreams fit into this strategy and simultaneously open up a new thematic field.

While the NASA app is available on platforms like iOS, Android, Roku, and Apple TV, it has been missing on gaming consoles and certain smart TVs. By integrating with Netflix, users of such devices can access NASA content without additional app installation or registration. Specific launch dates and program details for NASA+ livestreams on Netflix will be announced in the coming weeks. Netflix mentions only that NASA+ content will be available by the end of the summer. Until then, access to NASA+ remains available through the agency's website and official apps. However, the partnership with Netflix already marks a significant step in making space exploration more visible to a global audience.

Equinor secures new exploration opportunity in Brazil
Equinor has secured the S-M-1617 exploration block in the Santos basin during Brazil's 5th Open Permanent Concession bid round, marking a significant expansion of its portfolio in the region. The company was awarded the licence on a 100% basis, with a signature bonus of approximately 30.5m reais (around $5.5m). The S-M-1617 licence is situated in the Santos basin, 400km off the coast, in water depths up to 2,600m. The newly acquired block is situated 60km from Equinor's existing S-M-1378 block, indicating a strategic consolidation of the company's assets in the area. Equinor Brazil Country manager and senior vice-president Veronica Coelho said: 'The licence is in close proximity to the S-M-1378 block we already own, an area with strong potential that we can leverage to reinforce our position in the Santos basin. This award provides us with longevity options for Brazil and demonstrates our continuous commitment and appetite to grow in the country.' The company plans to undertake the necessary geological and geophysical assessments to prepare for future exploration activities. Equinor has been present in Brazil for more than 20 years, and is the operator of the Bacalhau and Raia projects in the Santos and Campos basins, respectively. Equinor is also the operator of the Peregrino oilfield and has a non-operator position in Petrobras' Roncador project. Apart from oil and gas, Equinor is extending investments into renewable energy, with onshore assets already in operation and several projects under development via its subsidiary Rio Energy. Earlier this month, Equinor initiated production at the Halten East project in the Norwegian Sea, just two years after approval from Norway's regulators.
