WIREUNWIRED BRIEF

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman will pilot an F-5 fighter jet during a pre-game flyover at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, October 11. The flight launches the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns game as part of the agency’s ongoing Inspiration Tour. Three F-5 fighter jets will participate in the flyover during the national anthem.

Outside the stadium, NASA team members will host an Experience Zone in the Jets Tailgate Zone from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern time. Fans can explore an inflatable Space Launch System rocket, play interactive games, and learn about lunar missions inside an Artemis dome. The Inspiration Tour connects the agency with academic, industry, and public sector stakeholders across the United States.

These stops highlight American leadership in space and showcase new technologies for the public. The national tour leads up to a public exposition called MAX POWER. This event will take place on November 7 and 8 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It honors America's 250th anniversary by displaying next-generation aircraft, spacecraft, and autonomous vehicles.
