NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is scheduled to pilot one of three F-5 fighter jets during a flyover at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The flyover will take place on Sunday, Oct. 11, to kick off the National Football League game between the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns.
The flyover is part of NASA’s Inspiration Tour, which includes stops across the nation. The tour aims to convene academic, industry, and public sector stakeholders to connect the agency with the people, technologies, and organizations that drive American leadership in space.
Before the game, NASA team members will engage with fans at the agency’s Experience Zone. This zone is located at the Jets Tailgate Zone outside the stadium and will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT. Activities at the Experience Zone include:
Isaacman will be available for limited media interviews during the game. According to the NASA media advisory, interviews can be arranged by contacting Camille Gallo at [email protected] or 202-531-8057.
The Inspiration Tour will culminate in MAX POWER, a public exposition of American air and space innovation. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7, and Sunday, Nov. 8, on and near the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA states that MAX POWER is held in honor of America’s historic 250th anniversary. The multi-day, family-friendly event will showcase the next-generation aircraft, spacecraft, autonomous vehicles, and technologies that will help define the future of transportation in air and space.
This event demonstrates NASA's direct engagement with the public through high-profile sporting events. By participating in the NFL game, the agency connects with fans and stakeholders as part of its broader Inspiration Tour, which seeks to link the agency with the people and organizations driving American leadership in space.
