SHOP-26

Spaceflight Human Optimization and Performance Summit 2026

April 29 - May 1 Houston, TX Space Center Houston

KBR is proud to participate in the Spaceflight Human Optimization Performance Summit 2026 (SHOP-26), engaging with leaders across the space community to advance solutions that strengthen astronaut performance and mission success.

KBR applies human-centered design principles to ensure spacecraft, systems and operations are engineered around the needs, limitations and strengths of the space professionals who use them. From early mission formulation through certification and flight operations, our teams integrate human systems expertise to reduce risk, enhance safety and enable peak performance in the most demanding environments.

As missions grow longer and more complex, success depends on the ability to translate research into operational capability quickly and effectively. KBR channels our commitment to Speed to Mission ImpactSM and accelerates the delivery of human performance solutions that support readiness, resilience and recovery. We combine clinical insight, engineering expertise and operational experience to help customers move faster from concept to execution while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability.

Join KBR at SHOP-26 to learn how we deliver integrated human performance solutions that support readiness and mission success at speed in space.

The Team Behind The Mission®

SHOP-26 is the premier global event focused on advancing human capability in space and other extreme environments. It brings together leaders from NASA, the Department of War, academia and industry for one critical mission: optimizing astronaut readiness — physically, mentally and operationally — for long-duration and deep-space exploration. SHOP-26 highlights the science and technologies shaping the future of human spaceflight through research presentations, collaborative sessions and applied workshops.

KBR provides critical support across the full mission lifecycle within NASA’s Human Health and Performance Contract (HHPC/HHPC2). Our expertise spans human factors, habitability, space medicine and behavioral health, ensuring astronauts are equipped to perform and thrive in extreme environments. We enable safer, more effective exploration by shaping hardware, training, mission architectures and operational protocols.

At KBR, we are the Team Behind the Mission®. Visit us to connect with our experts and explore how we are advancing human-centered solutions that deliver Speed to Mission ImpactSM for the next generation of space exploration.
