MAX POWER Brings Air and Space Innovation to Kennedy Space Center

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center will host MAX POWER on November 7–8, 2026, bringing together aviation, spaceflight, emerging technology, and American aerospace history in one large-scale event.

Created in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, the two-day festival will feature air shows, skydiving demonstrations, military aircraft, spaceflight hardware, astronaut appearances, and presentations from NASA experts. Visitors will also have opportunities to explore parts of America’s historic spaceport.

MAX POWER is divided into three separately ticketed experiences. The Air Dot Show will feature military aircraft and flyovers by NASA and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. The UP.Summit technology showcase will highlight advances in autonomous vehicles, drones, aircraft, and space exploration. A third experience includes admission to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and behind-the-gates tours of Kennedy’s facilities.

Designed for families, students, space enthusiasts, and members of the aerospace community, MAX POWER will celebrate the history of American flight while offering a look at the technologies shaping future exploration from Earth to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Tickets and additional event information are available on the official NASA MAX POWER website.
