On Monday, NASA officially launched a new full time, HD channel to keep you in the loop on all the latest, out of this world news.

“The channel will deliver HD video that only NASA can provide, such as live launch coverage of space shuttles and other spacecraft. The “ISS Update,” a daily program covering the activities of the on-orbit International Space Station crews, will air on the new HD channel. Video of the Earth shot by crews on the station and from NASA satellites also will be available.”

The channel content is available in the MPEG-2 format and can be accessed here.
