America’s newest aerospace expo and air show, MAX POWER, will take place from Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8 at locations surrounding NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Through a series of park‑based experiences, NASA and its partners will exhibit the latest aircraft, autonomous vehicles, and emerging technologies shaping the future of air and space. NASA will feature its quiet supersonic X‑59 aircraft, while collaborators will present lunar rovers, spacecraft and additional innovations. The event also concludes NASA’s recent Inspiration Tour, which included multiple flyovers highlighting the agency’s fleet of aircraft.
A complete schedule of events is posted on NASA’s website.
Public access opens at 9:00 a.m. EST on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8.
Throughout the weekend, NASA will issue several news updates, including a news conference at 5:00 p.m. on November 7 to present the latest developments for the Moon Base, humanity’s first long‑term outpost on the lunar South Pole.
Live coverage of the news conference will be streamed on multiple online platforms. Details on where to watch are provided below.
