NASA Announces MAX POWER Aerospace Expo and Airshow at Kennedy Space Center
The two-day exposition, held in honour of America’s 250th anniversary, will feature autonomous systems, commercial space displays, and lunar return plans at Florida’s historic launch site.
NASA has announced MAX POWER, a public aerospace exposition and airshow scheduled for 7 and 8 November at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Held in honour of America’s 250th anniversary, the multi-day event aims to showcase next-generation aircraft, spacecraft, and autonomous technologies. The agency described the gathering as a celebration of American innovation designed to inspire future explorers and connect the public with the companies shaping the future of transportation.
The event is a collaboration involving several external partners, including Air Dot Show, Delaware North, Space Florida, Purpose Entertainment, and UP.Summit. Activities will be distributed across the Kennedy Space Center, including the Apollo Saturn V facility and the Launch and Landing Facility currently leased by Space Florida, as well as the adjacent Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman stated that the agency is opening the historic Shuttle Landing Facility to the public for the occasion. He emphasised that the event seeks to bring together the legacy of NASA with the innovators, investors, and engineers developing the technologies that will define the next era of air and space travel.
The expo will provide displays on commercial space, NASA’s Artemis lunar return plans, and concepts for a Moon Base. Organisers also highlighted technologies strengthening the aerospace industrial base. Cyrus Sigari, founder of UP.Summit, noted that the event would allow the public to stand alongside the aircraft and autonomous systems being built for the future, while Bryan Lilley of Air Dot Show described it as an opportunity to showcase the present and preview the future of American aviation.
Attendance requires separate tickets for the various parks and experiences planned for the festival. The event is open to both U.S. and international media, who must RSVP by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, 6 October, to the Kennedy newsroom for accreditation. Further details on ticketing and schedules are available through the official NASA channels.
