Overview
- Max Power runs Nov. 7–8 at Kennedy Space Center on Florida’s Space Coast and is operating across three separately ticketed areas with shuttle links for ticket holders.
- The expo displays agency and partner hardware including the X-59 quiet supersonic test jet, the recently unveiled X-70 experimental aircraft, moon rovers and exhibits about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
- A lineup of panels features senior NASA leaders and astronauts, with a livestreamed press conference on lunar outpost plans set for 5 p.m. EST Saturday and appearances by Nicky Fox, Carlos García-Galán, Dayna Ise and Jared Isaacman.
- The flying program includes the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and other military teams, and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is scheduled to perform flyovers both days in an F-5 and a MiG-29 at the published show times.
- Organizers say Max Power is meant to reshape public engagement by putting research normally done in labs and test ranges on public display, and the X-59 demonstrations aim to inform quieter supersonic rules while SR-1 Freedom and other concepts point to future Mars and lunar infrastructure plans.
