The space agency's content is already available for free, but this partnership takes it to a much wider audience.

NASA hopes the partnership will help bring excitement to space exploration through live streams of launches and astronaut activities.

NASA Plus’ live programming also includes “astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage, and breathtaking live views of Earth from the International Space Station.” Although you do need a subscription to use Netflix, the NASA Plus content will be a free addition and won’t add to the cost of that subscription.
