NASA and external collaborators are organizing MAX POWER, a two-day aerospace expo and air show scheduled for November 7–8 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida [1]. The event coincides with the 250th anniversary of the United States and takes place across multiple facilities, including the Apollo Saturn V facility, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and the Launch and Landing Facility operated by Space Florida, as reported by nasa.gov [1].

The public event is structured into three dedicated parks requiring separate ticketing, produced alongside partners such as Air Dot Show, UP.Summit, Space Florida, Delaware North, and Purpose Entertainment [1]. NASA stated that the reliance on external partners allows the program to function outside of federally appropriated budgets, with ticketing handled directly through partner websites [1].

## Flight Demonstrations and Autonomous Vehicles

The festival's programming highlights current flight systems and transportation technologies [1]. Park one, presented by Air Dot Show, includes multi-day flight presentations and flyovers conducted by NASA, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and Department of War assets [1]. In addition, Space.com notes scheduled demonstration flights using F-5 and MiG-29 aircraft.

Park two, hosted by UP.Summit, is dedicated to mobility advancements [1]. Exhibits will display autonomous transport platforms, modern drone systems, experimental aircraft, and space exploration equipment [1]. Agency announcements indicate static displays will also incorporate the quiet supersonic experimental aircraft X-59 alongside lunar rovers and spacecraft mockups.

## Operational Tours and Public Exhibits

Park three grants access to standard Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex exhibits and guided behind-the-gates tours of historic launch facilities [1]. The site will run dedicated shuttle links between venues for attendees holding corresponding park passes [1].

Technical presentations and stage panels hosted by NASA specialists and astronauts span topics such as the Artemis program, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, experimental X-planes, and human performance research for lunar habitats [1]. Visitors can access event mapping, transport schedules, and agenda details via a dedicated mobile application [1].
