Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

On July 19, the US space agency, NASA, will launch a full-time high-definition (HD) television channel for the public and media to access.

NASA Television will deliver live launch coverage of spacecraft on video and feature a daily update of activities on the International Space Station including video of Earth shot by crews and from NASA satellites.

The footage also will be available for cable and satellite news providers, in MPEG format, along with coverage of agency missions and programs.

NASA's video news feed, conferences, lectures, interviews and special events also will be delivered in HD.

The Space Shuttle program which was expected to end soon, will be included since the US Senate is planning to extend it for at least three more missions, which should be televised.
