Space enthusiasts and aficionados now have a reason to buy a 4K television set.

NASA, in partnership with Harmonic, has announced plants to launch NASA TV UHD, which will be the first non-commercial, ultra high definition channel for North America. NASA recently signed a Space Act Agreement with Harmonic, a tech company that specializes in video delivery.

"Partnering with Harmonic gives NASA an outlet for its UHD content, which has four times the resolution of HD and is the next iteration of digital television, Robert Jacobs, from NASA's Office of Communication, said.

Through the partnership with Harmonic, NASA will be able to deliver video content with 60 fps and 2160p screens.

The NASA TV UHD aims to "showcase the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of space."

The channel will stream high-resolution images and video content from the International Space Station and other current missions. NASA will also feature re-mastered historical space footage from its past missions.

According to TechRadar, NASA has also been collecting 4K videos on its YouTube page for the past few months. These videos will likely end up in the TV channel as well.

NASA is currently doing preliminary tests ahead of the November launch date of the channel.

NASA also reported that Harmonic is in discussions with pay TV operators in order to carry the channel on satellite, cable and optical networks. The NASA UHD channel will also stream on the Internet, but will need at least 13 Mbps in order to receive the signal and fully immerse in the UHD experience.

According to Peter Alexander, Harmonic chief marketing officer, "as NASA reaches new heights and reveals the unknown, the NASA TV UHD channel can bring that journey to life in every home." NASA is said to be gearing up for space missions in the near future, and through the new UHD channel, viewers will be able to witness these adventures with amazing clarity.

NASA's new UHD TV channel is set to launch on Nov. 1.
