In 2017, the Asteroid Foundation (which operates Asteroid Day on behalf of the United Nations) was created with its headquarters in Luxembourg.
The Asteroid Foundation has been partnering with Luxembourg based TV network RTL, Films United and the world’s largest private satellite company, SES, ever since.
The TV channel was born out of that partnership. Each year from June 1 – July 4, Asteroid Day TV broadcasts a non-stop space programme to over 500 million households worldwide and via web streaming.
Films United doesn’t just produce the overall programme but has also been producing a number of shows over the years, with partners like Discovery Channel, ESA, NASA, and many others.
