SHOP-24 Space Center Houston | Houston, TX
The Future of Performance in Space
Join us for SHOP week, an exciting event with dynamic lectures and discussions led by world-renowned KBR speakers. The inaugural 2023 summit brought together scientists, engineers, physicians, and astronauts to discuss the historical aspects of exercise in space, offering a glimpse into the future. Since then, NASA launched its first rocket to orbit the moon via Artemis in more than 50 years, setting the stage for upcoming human missions in 2025 and beyond. Register now to engage in discussions that will have ever-lasting impacts.
