In summary: To cyrusabdollahi what do you mean by your words when you replay to my question?He was just being funny. Have you read the NASA link that FredGarvin posted? Are you already a pilot? Or are you interested more in the Mission Specialist angle?In summary, the astronaut program is very selective. Most of the pilots are from the military, but the mission specialists are comprised of a lot of civilians.

I believe most astronauts are taken from the military (specifically as former test pilots). The astronaut program is VERY selective.

Yes it is very selective, but the military is NOT the main place. 99% of the pilots are from the military, but the mission specialists are comprised of a lot of civilians.z-component said:

Check out the requirements and see if you meet them. As was previously mentioned, it is extremely cut throat competitive.

Are you even an American? Your odds of becoming an astronaut with that background are extremely slim with that kind of background and utterly nonexistent if you are not from the US and of that background. If you really want to make an attempt to become an astronaut, you'll need to get a science/technical education.

Getting in with an MS is hard enough. Most mission specialists are PhDs.

You have to be American to be a NASA astronaut -- don't you?
Best bet would be to make a load of money in something else and buy a ticket with the Russians

American citizenship for NASA, I believe. They certainly do take candidates of various nationalities though, although your english has to be perfect. The same goes for ESA who are likewise getting through quite a few astronauts. Again, I believe their primary command language is English.

1. What qualifications do I need to become an Astronaut?
To become an Astronaut, you must have a bachelor's degree in a STEM field (science, technology, engineering, or math) from an accredited university. You must also have at least three years of relevant work experience or 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft. Additionally, passing a rigorous physical and medical exam is also required.
2. How do I apply to become an Astronaut?
The application process for becoming an Astronaut is through NASA's Astronaut Candidate Program. Applications are typically open for a limited time and can be found on NASA's website. You will need to submit an online application, including your resume and references. If selected, you will then go through a series of interviews and evaluations before being accepted into the program.
3. What training do Astronauts go through?
Astronauts go through extensive training in various areas such as spaceflight, robotics, and survival skills. They also undergo physical training to prepare for the physical demands of space travel. Additionally, they receive training on the specific mission they will be a part of, including the spacecraft and experiments they will be conducting.
4. How long does it take to become an Astronaut?
The process of becoming an Astronaut can vary, but on average, it takes about 2-3 years from the time of application to being selected and completing training. However, some individuals may take longer depending on their qualifications and the number of applicants in a given year.
5. What are the main responsibilities of an Astronaut?
An Astronaut's primary responsibility is to conduct research and experiments while in space. They also assist with maintaining and operating spacecraft and equipment. Additionally, Astronauts must be prepared to handle emergency situations and work as a team with their fellow crew members to ensure a successful mission. They also have responsibilities on the ground, such as public outreach and sharing their experiences with the public.
