NASA announced on Aug. 14, 2026, that it planned MAX POWER, a public aerospace exposition and airshow, for Nov. 7 and Nov. 8 at and near Kennedy Space Center in Florida, tied to the nation's 250th anniversary. Administrator Jared Isaacman said the agency planned to open the historic Shuttle Landing Facility to the public for the event, which was described as multi-day and family-friendly.

According to the release, planned activities included an air show with NASA aircraft and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, a guest speaker series with NASA experts and Apollo and Artemis astronauts, exhibits of historic and current hardware, and behind-the-gates bus tours. NASA named Air Dot Show, Delaware North, Space Florida, Purpose Entertainment and UP.Summit as external collaborators. Some events were to be held at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and the release said multiple parks and experiences would each require separate tickets.

Media were asked to RSVP by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, to the Kennedy newsroom. The release, dated Aug. 14, 2026, described the schedule as planned.
