NASA Hosts MAX POWER Aerospace Expo at Kennedy Space Center

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 nasa.gov. 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 nasa.gov.

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 nasa.gov. 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 nasa.gov.

Flight Demonstrations and Autonomous Vehicles

The festival's programming highlights current flight systems and transportation technologies nasa.gov. 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 nasa.gov. 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 nasa.gov. Exhibits will display autonomous transport platforms, modern drone systems, experimental aircraft, and space exploration equipment nasa.gov. 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 nasa.gov. The site will run dedicated shuttle links between venues for attendees holding corresponding park passes nasa.gov.

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 nasa.gov. Visitors can access event mapping, transport schedules, and agenda details via a dedicated mobile application nasa.gov.
