History
The channel launched as the Discovery Sci-Trek Channel in 1998, initially focusing on science fiction programming.
A move away from this format to more general science programming came with the channel rebranding itself as the Discovery Science Channel on 1 April 2003. Later on, the name was shortened to just 'Discovery Science'.
A 1 hour timeshift channel of Discovery Science launched in the UK and Ireland on Monday 21 April 2008 on Sky 549, which replaced a 90 minute timeshift of Discovery Channel, known as Discovery +1.5.
