NASA announced Friday that it will open Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility to the public for MAX POWER, a two-day aerospace technology exposition and airshow planned for November 7 and 8. The event, timed to coincide with America's 250th anniversary, will showcase next-generation aircraft, spacecraft, autonomous vehicles, and related technologies.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the event will bring together the public, innovators, investors, pilots, astronauts, engineers, and companies to celebrate American aerospace achievement. "For 250 years, America has advanced by building what did not exist, flying higher, moving faster, and reaching toward the near-impossible," Isaacman said in a statement.
MAX POWER will feature activities at NASA Kennedy, including the Apollo Saturn V facility and the Launch and Landing Facility, as well as at the adjacent Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Displays will highlight advanced aircraft, autonomous systems, commercial space ventures, NASA's plans to return humans to the lunar surface and establish a Moon Base, and technologies supporting America's aerospace industrial base.
The event is a collaboration between NASA, Air Dot Show, Delaware North, Space Florida, Purpose Entertainment, and UP.Summit. According to organizers, the exposition aims to inspire exploration and appeal to families across multiple themed parks, each requiring separate admission.
