NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman Engages Fans at Baltimore NFL Game Ahead of MAX POWER Expo
WHY IT MATTERS
The event highlights NASA’s strategy to build public interest ahead of the MAX POWER expo, where cutting‑edge aerospace technologies will be unveiled, potentially influencing future research funding and industry collaboration.
What happened
NASA astronaut and Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman took a selfie with fans at the New Orleans Saints‑Baltimore Ravens game on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
The appearance was part of NASA’s Inspiration Tour, a series of public outreach events that link the agency’s space programs with community activities. Wiseman’s visit followed a similar engagement at a recent MLB game, and it precedes the agency’s MAX POWER aerospace technology expo and airshow, scheduled for early November at Kennedy Space Center.
By meeting fans in a popular sporting venue, NASA aims to strengthen ties with partners and showcase innovations in air and space. The event also serves to promote the upcoming expo, where new aerospace technologies will be demonstrated to industry and the public.
