ALT A NASA exhibit at UP.Summit during MAX POWER on Nov. 6, 2026, features a conceptual lunar surface display illustrating the power infrastructure needed to support longer-duration missions on the Moon. In the foreground, miniature habitation modules and other lunar surface assets sit atop a gray, rocky terrain model, demonstrating how infrastructure could support sustained lunar exploration. The display is illustrative and does not represent a finalized Moon Base design. Behind the model stands an orange Orion Crew Survival System suit, with a stage and large American flag visible in the background. Credit: NASA/Briana Zamora

ALT Promotional graphic for the NASA Space Apps Challenge featuring the text “14 Challenges” on a blue background. Five images highlight space and Earth science themes, including the Moon behind NASA’s Artemis rocket, Earth viewed from space, a nighttime observatory beneath a starry sky, a rocky Martian landscape, and a satellite view of Earth. The NASA Space Apps Challenge logo and website appear on the left.
